Problem 40

Problem 42
From Pythagorean triples to points on the unit circle: \((x, y, r) \rightarrow\left(\frac{x}{r}, \frac{y}{r}, 1\right)\) While not strictly a "formula," dividing a Pythagorean triple by \(r\) is a simple algorithm for rewriting any Pythagorean triple as a triple with hypotenuse 1 . This enables us to identify certain points on a unit circle, and to evaluate the six trig functions of the related acute angle. Rewrite each triple as a triple with hypotenuse 1 , verify \(\left(\frac{x}{r}, \frac{y}{r}\right)\) is a point on the unit circle, and evaluate the six trig functions using this point. a. \((5,12,13)\) b. \((7,24,25)\) c. \((12,35,37)\) d. \((9,40,41)\)
