Answer:
sin A = [tex]\frac{15} {17} [/tex] and cos A =[tex] \frac{8}{17}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a right angled triangle and we are to determine the ratios for sin A and cos A.
Sin is the ratio of perpendicular/hypotenuse while cos is the ratio of base/hypotenuse.
With respect to angle A, base = 8, perpendicular = 15 and hypotenuse = 17.
Therefore, [tex]sin A = \frac{15}{17}[/tex] and [tex]cos A = \frac{8}{17}[/tex].
