The correct Answer is:
To solve for \( \sin A \) and \( \cos A \) in triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where \( B \) is the right angle, \( AB = 24 \, \text{cm} \), and \( BC = 7 \, \text{cm} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the sides of the triangle In triangle \( \Delta ABC \): - \( AB \) is the side opposite angle \( C \) (perpendicular). - \( BC \) is the side opposite angle \( A \) (base). - \( AC \) is the hypotenuse. ### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse \( AC \) According to the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 \] Substituting the values: \[ AC^2 = 24^2 + 7^2 \] Calculating the squares: \[ AC^2 = 576 + 49 = 625 \] Taking the square root: \[ AC = \sqrt{625} = 25 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( \sin A \) The sine of angle \( A \) is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite angle \( A \) (which is \( BC \)) to the length of the hypotenuse \( AC \): \[ \sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \sin A = \frac{7}{25} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \cos A \) The cosine of angle \( A \) is defined as the ratio of the length of the adjacent side (which is \( AB \)) to the length of the hypotenuse \( AC \): \[ \cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \cos A = \frac{24}{25} \] ### Final Answers Thus, the values are: \[ \sin A = \frac{7}{25}, \quad \cos A = \frac{24}{25} \] ---
