If
calculate cos A and tan A.
Given: Sin A ![]()

We know that,
![]()
Or ![]()
![]()
Let,
Side opposite to angle θ = BC =3k
and Hypotenuse = AC =4k
where, k is any positive integer
So, by Pythagoras theorem, we can find the third side of a triangle
⇒ (AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2
⇒ (AB)2 + (3k)2 = (4k)2
⇒ (AB)2 + 9k2 = 16k2
⇒ (AB)2 = 16 k2 – 9 k2
⇒ (AB)2 = 7 k2
⇒ AB =k√7
So, AB = k√7
Now, we have to find the value of cos A and tan A
We know that,
![]()
Here, θ = A
The side adjacent to angle A = AB =k√7
Hypotenuse = AC =4k
So,![]()
Now,
We know that,
![]()
The side opposite to angle A = BC =3k
The side adjacent to angle A = AB =k√7
So,![]()
