Angle 0 is in quadrant I with cos 0 is 10/17. which of the following would be the appropriate step in calculating the value of sin 0 using the pythagorean identity?
a. sin 0 + (10/17)^2 = 1
b. sin 0 - (10/17)^2 = 1
c. sin^2 0 + (10/17)^2 = 1
d. sin^2 0 - (10/17)^2 = 1
As the name implies, the pythagorean identity uses the pythagorean theorem for right triangles. The 1 on the right hand side is the length of the hypotenuse, which is the radius of the unit circle.
