In the triangle ABC, sin A = 4/5. Find cos B.
Draw altitude CM
Then CM must = 8 because sin A = CM / AC = 8/10 = 4/5
Using the Pythagorean Theorem BM = sqrt (BC^2 - CM^2) = sqrt ( 17^2 - 8^2) = sqrt ( 289 - 64) =
sqrt ( 225) = 15
And cos B = BM / BC = 15/ 17
THANK YOU SO MUCH BROHAM
OK....but.....I suspect hectictar might have gotten the same answer !!!
I just beat her to the punch ....LOL!!!!
Hahaha!!
