Answer the questions. \begin{enumerate} \item Explain why we can find the exact value of \(\sin (60^\circ)\) but not the exact value of \(\sin(60)\). \item A scientific calculator only has keys for \(\sin\), \(\cos\), \(\tan\). Explain how to find the other three functions \(\csc\), \(\sec\), \(\cot\). \item Suppose we know the value of \(\theta\) in the following picture: \[ \img{U4_6F9.png}{}{18em}{}. \] Explain how to find \(b\) and \(c\). \item The picture shows a building and the light of sight to the top from a point on the ground. Which of \(\theta_1\), \(\theta_2\), \(\theta_3\) is the angle of elevation? \[ \img{U4_6F10.png}{}{15em}{} \] \end{enumerate}
