Given sin 0 = 4/5 use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of cos 0.
A) cos 0 = 3/4

B) cos 0 = 3/5

C) cos 0 = 4/3

D) cos 0 = 4/5

cosθ = 3/5

Explanation:

Given that,

sinθ = 4/5

We need to find the value of cosθ.

We know that,

sinθ = P/H

Where

P is perpendicular and H is Hypotenuse

Using Pythagoras theorem to find base (b).

H²=P²+B², b is base

We have, H = 5, P = 4, B=?

b²=5²-4²

b=3

We know that, cosθ = B/H

Putting all the values,

cosθ = 3/5

Hence, the correct option is (b) "cosθ = 3/5".

the nitrogen cycle provides nitrogen to the ecosystem from the atmosphere, ground and oceans. nitrogen is an important component of complex molecules such as amino acids and nucleotides, which lead to the creation of proteins and dna, the building blocks of all life. plants absorb nitrogen in the form of ammonium, nitrate ion and, on rare occasions, as amino acids. animals receive nitrogen necessary for biological processes from feeding on living or dead organic matter.
