Sorry, maybe is too late for you, But the answer is:
For example: 4 x 4=16cm² if <span> one pair of opposite sides was made 50% longer and the other pair of opposite sides was made 50% shorter
It became: 6 x 2=12cm</span>²
12/16=0.75
So, the 75% <span>of the square’s area is the area of the new rectangle.</span>
The correct answer is B.
Determine and recall first the trigonometric functions:
Sin A = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cos A = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent
If for example we try to take an angle, for example the Y, then Y is opposite Y. The Hypotenuse will be the longer side which is going to denoted by X and the next side will be Adjacent which will be denoted by Z.
Use this test to answer:
Sin Y = Y/X
where:
Y = opposite
X = hypotenuse
Cos (90 - y) = cos (90 - 50) = cos 40
where Z = 40
we look for cos Z = Y/X
Therefore,
Sin Y = Cos (90 - Y)
