In the right triangle ABC, AB is 10 m, AC is 24 m, BC is 26 m. Give all the possible names of each of the following ratios.
a) 10/26
b) 10/24
c) 24/26
d) 24/10
----
AB is opposite angle C
AC is opposite angle B
BC is opposite angle A
-----
Draw the right triangle with BC as the hypotenuse
AC as the base and AB as the height.
----
a) 10/26 = AB/BC = height/hypotenuse = sin(C) or cos(B)
b) 10/24 = AB/AC = height/base = tan(C)
c) 24/26 = AC/BC = base/hypotenuse = cos(C) or sin(B)
d) I'll leave this one to you
