Question:
If tan θ = 7/24 and θ is acute, find sin θ.
A. 7/25
B. 9/25
C. 12/25
D. 24/25
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Use tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = 7/24, and sin²θ + cos²θ = 1.
Step 1: tan θ = 7/24 => sin θ = 7k, cos θ = 24k. Step 2: sin²θ + cos²θ = 49k² + 576k² = 625k² = 1 => k = 1/25. Step 3: sin θ = 7/25.
Correct Answer: A
