    sin theta=0.75 degree, tan theta=1.12 degrees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    cos theta=2/3

    cos theta=cah = Adjacent/hypotenus

    so, adjacent=2, hypotenus=3, opposite=?

    using Pythagoras theorem

    hypotenus (squared) = opposite (squared) + adjacent (squared)

    3 (squared) = opp (squared) + 2 (squared)

    9=opp (squared) + 4

    collect like terms

    9-4=opp (squared)

    opp (squared) = 5

    root both sides

    opp=root of 5

    opp=2.24

    to find sin theta

    sin theta=soh=opposite/hypotenuse

    sin theta=2.24/3

    sin theta=0.75 degrees

    to find tan theta

    tan theta=toa = opposite/adjacent

    tan theta=2.24/2

    tan theta=1.12 degrees
