To find \(\sin(b^\circ)\) given \(\tan(b^\circ) = \frac{3}{4}\) and \(\cos(b^\circ) = \frac{4}{5}\), we can use the Pythagorean identity.
The Pythagorean identity states that: \[ \sin^2(b) + \cos^2(b) = 1 \]
Given that \(\cos(b) = \frac{4}{5}\), we can calculate \(\sin(b)\):
-
Calculate \(\cos^2(b)\): \[ \cos^2(b) = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{16}{25} \]
-
Use the identity to find \(\sin^2(b)\): \[ \sin^2(b) = 1 - \cos^2(b) = 1 - \frac{16}{25} = \frac{25}{25} - \frac{16}{25} = \frac{9}{25} \]
-
Now, take the square root to find \(\sin(b)\): \[ \sin(b) = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5} \]
Therefore, \(\sin(b^\circ) = \frac{3}{5}\).
Thus, the correct answer is:
\(\sin(b^\circ) = \frac{3}{5}\)
