Question 15 • Applications and Modeling

In right triangle ABC, when angles A and B add up to 90 degrees, what is the cosine of B equal to?

Answer
A
sin B
B
tan A
C
sin A
D
cos A

Explanation

Since angles A and B add to 90°, they are complementary. The cofunction identity says cos B = sin(90° − B), and 90° − B = A. Therefore, cos B equals sin A, which is choice C.
