Question 22 • Applications and Modeling

Which of the following statements is true?

Answer
A
sin 18° = cos 72°
B
sin 55° = cos 55°
C
sin 72° = cos 18°
D
Both a and c.

Explanation

The cofunction identity is sin θ = cos(90° − θ). Thus sin 18° = cos 72°, so statement a is true, and sin 72° = cos 18°, so statement c is true. Statement b is not true because sin 55° is not equal to cos 55°. Therefore, the correct choice is “Both a and c.”
