Answer:

[tex]\bold{\sin x = \frac{b}{c}}\bold{\\\cos x = \frac{a}{c}}\bold{\\\tan x = \frac{b}{a}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A right triangle has side lengths a, b, and c

Because you did not attached photo of the right triangle so I will assume that:

  • Side a is the adjacent (A)
  • Side b is the opposite (O)
  • Side c is the hypotenuse (H)

(Please have a look at the attached photo)

To solve for the trigonometric functions of x, we need to recall the ratios they represent as shown below.

[tex]\sin x = \frac{O}{H}\\\cos x = \frac{A}{H}\\\tan x = \frac{O}{A}[/tex]

EX: the sine of x is equal to the side opposite of angle x over the hypotenuse. Hence, we have the expressions of the trigonometric functions as shown below:

[tex]\bold{\sin x = \frac{b}{c}}\bold{\\\cos x = \frac{a}{c}}\bold{\\\tan x = \frac{b}{a}}[/tex]

Hope it will find you well
