# Math Help - Find the Three Trigonometric Funtions of the Angle by Applying Formulas

1. ## Find the Three Trigonometric Funtions of the Angle by Applying Formulas

The one I'm having trouble with is, $tan \theta \frac{4}{3}, \theta$ in quadrant $III$

I've solved $y=\sqrt{3},x=-1,$ and $r=2$

My problem is I can't put $\frac {\sqrt 3}{4}$ in to my calculator. I've tried $\frac {1.7321}{2}$, but I can't do decimals as fractions.

I don't understand what you are doing.

If you are given that $\tan(\theta)= \frac{4}{3}$ then $\sin(\theta)= \frac{-4}{5}$ and $\cos(\theta)= \frac{-3}{5}$.

So where are you getting the other values?

LOL, I wrote down the problem above the one I was working on. HAHAHA. I've got to get back to class, but I'll be back when I get home. Thanks for helping anyway. Sorry about wasting your time.

Edit: I bumped up your thanks to LEET lol
