Question 28 • Geometry: Concepts and Connections

Which relationship in the triangle must be true? Expand Image

Answer
A
sine of cap b is equal to cosine of open paren 90 minus cap b close paren
B
cosine of cap b is equal to sine of open paren 180 minus cap b close paren
C
cosine of cap b is equal to cosine of cap A
D
sine of cap b is equal to sine of cap A

Explanation

For any angle b, the cofunction identity says that sin(b) = cos(90° − b). Therefore, the relationship in choice C is always true, regardless of the triangle’s other angles. The other choices are not true for every possible value of b.
