Use the image below to answer the following question. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share? A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 4, another leg measuring 3, and the hypotenuse measuring 5. The two angles that are not 90 degrees are marked x and y. The ratios are both identical (3 over 5 and 3 over 5). The ratios are opposites (negative 3 over 5 and 3 over 5). The ratios are reciprocals (3 over 5 and 5 over 3). The ratios are both negative (negative 5 over 3 and negative 3 over 5).

what do you think ?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

sine=opposite/adjacent cosine=adjacent/hypoteneuse

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

opposite side of angle x/adjacent side of x=sine x

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

one sec.. lag

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

im getting confused... sin x = 3/5 ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

coz y = is also 3/5 soooo its A ?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

sorry, sine=opposite/hypteneuse

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

yes you are right the ratios of cosine of an angle and sine of another angle can be equal

thank you
