Answer:

• tan(A) = 7/24
• sin(A) = 7/25
• cos(A) = 24/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can help you remember the trig ratios:

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

With respect to angle A, the sides are Adjacent = 24; Opposite = 7, Hypotenuse = 25. Then the desired trig ratios are ...

  tan(A) = 7/24

  sin(A) = 7/25

  cos(A) = 24/25
