Answer:
The solution is
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation
can be rewritten as
and can be further simplified to
.
Now, taking the inverse sine of both sides we get:
The value of the right side on the interval is
,
which makes the equation (2)
solving for gives
which is our solution.
Answer: Choice A. sin(A) = cos(B)
============================================================
Explanation:
The rule is that sin(A) = cos(B) if and only if A+B = 90.
Note how
Since both result in the same fraction BC/AB, this helps us see why sin(A) = cos(B). Similarly, we can find that cos(A) = sin(B).
In the diagram below, the angles A and B are complementary, meaning they add to 90 degrees. So this trick only applies to right triangles.
The side lengths can be anything you want, as long as you're dealing with a right triangle.
