Problem 16

Sketch a right triangle corresponding to the trigonometric function of the acute angle \(\boldsymbol{\theta} .\) Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the third side and then find the other five trigonometric functions of \(\boldsymbol{\theta}\). $$\tan \theta=\frac{4}{5}$$

Problem 21
