Question

In right triangle ABC, A and B are complementary angles and sin A = 8/9 . What is cos B? NextReset

Answer 1

A and B are complementary, that means m∠A+m∠B=90
Recall that sinA=cos(90-A), if sinA=8/9, cos(90-A) is also 8/9
therefore, cosB=cos(90-A)=sinA=8/9<span />

Answer 2

cos B is 8/9 too......................
