Question 1 of 18beginner🔧 ApplyNumerical2 marks
In , right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. Determine: (i) sin A, cos A (ii) sin C, cos C
(i)
Answer
sin A = 7/25, cos A = 24/25
(ii)
Answer
sin C = 24/25, cos C = 7/25
Explanation
This question tests the basic trigonometric ratios in a right-angled triangle. Students must first find the hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem, then apply the definitions of sine and cosine. For angle A, BC is opposite and AB is adjacent. For angle C, the roles reverse - AB becomes opposite and BC becomes adjacent.
