Consider the relationship below, given .Which of the following best explains how this relationship and the value of sin can be used to find the other trigonometric values?

Question illustration
A
The values of sin and cos represent the legs of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 1; therefore, solving for cos finds the unknown leg, and then all other trigonometric values can be found.
Option A
B
The values of sin and cos represent the angles of a right triangle; therefore, solving the relationship will find all three angles of the triangle, and then all trigonometric values can be found.
Option B
C
The values of sin and cos represent the angles of a right triangle; therefore, other pairs of trigonometric ratios will have the same sum, 1, which can then be used to find all other values.
Option C
D
The values of sin and cos represent the legs of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of –1, since is in Quadrant II; therefore, solving for cos finds the unknown leg, and then all other trigonometric values can be found.
