Why does sin54°≈0.809≈cos36° in a right triangle? A
54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and the adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

B
54° and 36° are complementary angles in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the adjacent leg of 54° and the opposite leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

C
54° and 36° are supplementary in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the opposite leg of 54° and adjacent leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.

D
54° and 36° are supplementary in the same right triangle. sin54° is the ratio of the adjacent leg and the hypotenuse and cos36° is the ratio of the opposite leg and the hypotenuse. In this triangle, the adjacent leg of 54° and opposite leg of 36° are the same leg in the triangle.
