Answer

sin A = $\frac{30}{78}$ cos A = $\frac{72}{78}$ tan A = $\frac{30}{72}$ sin B = $\frac{72}{78}$ cos B = $\frac{30}{72}$ tan B = $\frac{72}{30}$

Work Step by Step

The ratio for sine is: sin θ = $\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ The ratio for cosine is: cos θ = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ The ratio for tangent is: tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ Let's find these ratios for both $\angle A$ and $\angle B$: sin A = $\frac{30}{78}$ cos A = $\frac{72}{78}$ tan A = $\frac{30}{72}$ sin B = $\frac{72}{78}$ cos B = $\frac{30}{72}$ tan B = $\frac{72}{30}$
