find the exact value of cosine theta given that sin theta equals -12/13 and theta is in the quadrant three

cos θ = -5/13

Step-by-step explanation:

sin θ = -12/13

Use Pythagorean identity.

sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

(-12/13)² + cos²θ = 1

144/169 + cos²θ = 1

cos²θ = 25/169

cos θ = ±5/13

θ is in the 3rd quadrant, so cos θ < 0.

cos θ = -5/13

so far i think you have the right thing going for you just remember soh cah toh

step-by-step explanation:

sine over hypotenuse

cosine   equals adjacent

tangent over hypotenuse

it is only things thain can be deafeated
