Let us assume a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at B
Given: Sin A = 3/4
Therefore, Sin A = Opposite side /Hypotenuse= 3/4
Let BC be 3k and AC will be 4k
where k is a positive real number.
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
Substitute the value of AC and BC
(4k)2= AB2 + (3k)2
16k2− 9k2 = AB2
AB2=7k2
AB = √7k
Now, we have to find the value of cos A and tan A
We know that,
Cos (A) = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
Substitute the value of AB and AC we get,
AB/AC = √7k/4k = √7/4
cos (A) = √7/4
tan(A) = Opposite side/Adjacent side
Substitute the Value of BC and AB and cancel the constant k in both numerator and denominator, we get,
BC/AB = 3k/√7k = 3/√7
tan A = 3/√7
