Question #ce9db Trigonometry Right Triangles Relating Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Binayaka C. Aug 16, 2016 #cos 3theta=44/125=0.352# Explanation: #sin theta=3/5 ; cos theta=sqrt(1-(3/5)^2)=4/5# # costheta =-4/5# when #theta# is in between #90^0 & 180^0# #cos 3theta=4cos^3theta-3costheta= 4*(-4/5)^3-3*(-4/5) = -256/125+12/5=44/125=0.352#[Ans] Answer link Related questions What does it mean to find the sign of a trigonometric function and how do you find it?
