1 answer

To complete the trigonometric functions for the triangle with sides AB = 3, BC = 4, and CA = 5, we first need to determine the angles and the appropriate functions.

Given the sides:

  • AB = 3 (let's call this side "a")
  • BC = 4 (let's call this side "b")
  • CA = 5 (let's call this side "c")

The angles can be identified based on the triangle formed.

Using the Sine Function

  1. Sin A = Opposite / Hypotenuse
    • Angle A is opposite side BC (4).
    • Hypotenuse is side CA (5).
    • Thus, \[ \sin A = \frac{BC}{CA} = \frac{4}{5} \]

Using the Tangent Function

  1. Tan C = Opposite / Adjacent
    • Angle C is opposite side AB (3).
    • Side BC (4) is adjacent to angle C.
    • Thus, \[ \tan C = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{3}{4} \]

Final Responses

  • Sin A = 4/5
  • Tan C = 3/4
