C
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity to determine if the triangle is right
The square of the longest side should equal the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
QS² = RS² + QR² = 8² + 5² = 64 + 25 = 89 ( take the square root of both sides )
QS =
Δ QRS is not right as QS would have to be
<h3>Answer: 
</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
The rule to use is
cos(x) = sin(y) if and only if x+y = 90
Proof of this statement is shown in the section below.
We say that angles x and y are complementary angles since they add to 90 degrees.
Use of a calculator shows,
cos(55) = 0.573576
sin(35) = 0.573576
both values being approximate.
note how 55+35 = 90.
---------------------------------------------------------
Proof of the claim that if x+y = 90, then cos(x) = sin(y)
Let x and y be the acute angles of a right triangle. See the diagram below. Sides a,b,c are such that 'a' is opposite angle x, b is opposite angle y, and c is the hypotenuse.
We can then say,
cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos(x) = b/c
and also,
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(y) = b/c
Both are equal to b/c, which means cos(x) = sin(y)
x+y = 90 is true for any pair of acute angles of a right triangle.
