In the figure, m∠B = m∠C and ∠D is a right angle. cos B = sin A sin B sin C sin D

OpenStudy (alexa):

sin C ?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

cos B = cos C because <B = <C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

cos C = CD/CA

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the sine of what angle is CD/CA?

OpenStudy (alexa):

C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No

OpenStudy (welshfella):

sine = opposite / hypotenuse

OpenStudy (welshfella):

CD is not opposite angle C

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what angle is opposite side CD in triangle CDA?

OpenStudy (alexa):

CA?

OpenStudy (alexa):

doesnt B = C so sin C is CD/CA?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

cos C = CD / CA ( adjacent / hypotenuse)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Ca is not the angle opposite side CD (CA is a side)

OpenStudy (triciaal):

one approach can you "see" the 2 triangles? match the sides that are similar read Cos B and then read the equivalent on the other triangle
