  1. cosx= sqrt(1-sin^2x)=sqrt(1-81/121)=sqrt(40/12...

    or cosx=6.32/11=0.57

    tanx=sinx/cosx=(9/11)/0.57=0.818/0.57= 1.435


  2. sin(x)=9/11

    opposite/hypotenuse=9/11

    opposite = (9/11)hypotenuse

    opposite² + adjacent²=hypotenuse²

    adjacent = sqrt(11²-9²)

                 = sqrt(40)

    cos x= adj/hypo

              but as we are in the second quadrant cos is negative

    tanx= oppo/adj

             Here as we are in the second quadrant tan is negative
