Here's the question bank on all the mathematics topics.
If \(\tan ? = - \frac{5}{12},\) then what can be the value of sin ??
Concept:Calculation:Given that, \(\tan ? = - \frac{5}{12}\) = perpendicular/BaseIn triangle ABC, using the Pythagoras theoremAC2 = AB2 + BC2? AC2 = 52 + 122 = 132? AC = 13 Hence, sin ? = perpendicular/hypotenuse? sin ? = 5/13Since tan ? is negative in 2nd and 4th quadrants.sin ? in 2nd quadrants = 5/13sin ? in 4th quadrants = - 5/13? Both 5/13 and -5/13 are possible.
