5. The Sine and Cosine Ratios
Sign In
The sine of an acute angle is equal to the cosine of its complement.
cos 26^(∘)
The sine of an acute angle is equal to the cosine of its complement. |
Keep in mind that complementary angles add up to 90^(∘). To find the complement of 64, we subtract our given angle from 90. Now, we can rewrite sin 64^(∘) in terms of cosine. sin 64^(∘) = cos(90^(∘)-64^(∘)) = cos 26^(∘)
