Do the lengths of 10, 20, 22, make a right, acute, or obtuse triangle?

* sin Ф = -15/17     * cos Ф = 8/17      * tan Ф = -15/8

* csc Ф = -17/15    * sec Ф = 17/8      * cot Ф = -8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets revise the trigonometric function of angle Ф

- Angle θ is in standard position

- Point  (8, -15) is on the terminal ray of angle θ

- That means the terminal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle x and y

  are its legs

∵ x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative

∴ angle Ф lies in the 4th quadrant

- The opposite side of angle Ф is the y-coordinate of the point on the

  terminal ray of angle Ф and the adjacent side to angle Ф is the

  x-coordinate of that point

∵ The length of the hypotenuse (h) = √(x² + y²)

∴ h = √[(8)² + (-15)²] = √[64 + 225] = √[289] = 17

∴ The length of the hypotenuse is 17

- Lets find sin Ф

∵ sin Ф = opposite/hypotenuse

∵ The opposite is y = -15

∵ The hypotenuse = 17

∴ sin Ф = -15/17

- Lets find cos Ф

∵ cos Ф = adjacent/hypotenuse

∵ The adjacent is x = 8

∵ The hypotenuse = 17

∴ cos Ф = 8/17

- Lets find tan Ф

∵ tan Ф = opposite/adjacent

∵ The opposite is y = -15

∵ The adjacent = 8

∴ tan Ф = -15/8

- Remember csc Ф is the reciprocal of sin Ф

∵ csc Ф = 1/sin Ф

∵ sin Ф = -15/17

∴ csc Ф = -17/15

- Remember sec Ф is the reciprocal of cos Ф

∵ sec Ф = 1/ cos Ф

∵ cos Ф = 8/17

∴ sec Ф = 17/8

- Remember cot Ф is the reciprocal of tan Ф

∵ cot Ф = 1/tan Ф

∵ tan Ф = -15/8

∴ cot Ф = -8/15
