The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's analyze the given information about triangle ABC where angle A is 90 degrees, and the values of side c, sin B, and cos B are rational numbers. ### Step 1: Understand the Triangle and Given Information In triangle ABC: - Angle A = 90 degrees - Side opposite angle A is denoted as 'a' - Side opposite angle B is denoted as 'b' - Side opposite angle C is denoted as 'c' Given: - c (the length of side opposite angle C) is a rational number. - sin B and cos B are rational numbers. ### Step 2: Express sin B and cos B Using the definitions of sine and cosine for angle B in a right triangle: - \( \sin B = \frac{b}{a} \) - \( \cos B = \frac{c}{a} \) ### Step 3: Analyze the Rationality of sin B and cos B Since both sin B and cos B are given to be rational, we can conclude: - \( \frac{b}{a} \) is rational - \( \frac{c}{a} \) is rational ### Step 4: Implications of Rational Values Since \( \frac{b}{a} \) is rational, it implies that both b and a must be rational numbers (as long as a is not zero). Similarly, since \( \frac{c}{a} \) is rational and c is given to be rational, it follows that a must also be rational. ### Step 5: Conclude the Rationality of All Sides From the previous steps: - Since c is rational and \( \frac{c}{a} \) is rational, a must be rational. - Since \( \frac{b}{a} \) is rational and a is rational, b must also be rational. Thus, we conclude that: - a, b, and c are all rational numbers. ### Final Conclusion Since all sides of triangle ABC (a, b, c) are rational, we can confirm that: - Option A (c is rational) is correct. - Option B (sin B is rational) is correct. - Option C (cos B is rational) is correct.
