given thaTt x is acute and cos x=0.6 find tan x

 

given that sinx=0.3 find the angle x

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

sin^2 = 1- .6^2

sin = + 0.8    (positive because angle is acute

 

tan = sin/cos =  .8/.6 = 1 1/3

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1     This is a trig IDENTITY you should know

 

acute angle means the angle is in Quadrant I    where   sin and cos are both positive.

 

There isn't any more steps.....can you be a little more precise as to what it is you do not understand?    ~EP
