The point (2, 3) is on the terminal side of angle θ, in standard position. what are the values of sine, cosine, and tangent of θ?

sin(θ) is approximately 0.832

cos(θ) is approximately 0.555

tan(θ) is 1.5

The given parameters are;

The location of point (2, 3) = The terminal side of angle θ in standard position

The required parameters;

sin of θ, cosine of θ, and tangent of θ

Strategy;

Draw angle θ on the coordinate plane based on definition showing point (2, 3) on the terminal side and find the required trigonometric ratio

Standard position is the position of an angle that has the vertex at the

origin, the fixed side of the angle is on the x-axis and the terminal side

which defines the angle is drawn relative to the initial fixed side to form

the given angle either clockwise or anticlockwise

We have the following trigonometric ratios with regards to the reference angle;

The hypotenuse length = √(2² + 3²) = √13

Therefore;

Therefore

The hypotenuse length = √(2² + 3²) = √13

Therefore;

tan(θ) = 1.5

sin Ф = 3/√13; cos Ф = 2/√13; and tan Ф = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume we're limiting ourselves to Quadrant I.

Start with the tangent function.  tan Ф = opp / adj.

In this case opp = 3 and adj = 2.  

The length of the hypotenuse is found using the Pythagorean Theorem and is √(3² + 2²) = √13.

Then sin Ф = opp / hyp = 3/√13 or 3√13/13

and

cos Ф = adj / hyp = 2/√13 or 2√13/13

and (as before)

tan Ф =  opp / adj = 3/2
