To explain:
The values of sine and cosine for an acute
Answer to Problem 63HP
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angle
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The values of sine and cosine for the acute angles of a right triangle were less than
Sin is the ratio of opposite side to hypotenuse.
Where,
Cosine is the ratio of adjacent side to hypotenuse.
Where,
Since, the hypotenuse is the longest side of the right angle triangle; the denominator will be always greater than the numerator. This will result is answer less than.
