Answer:

C

Explanation:

Sin represents opposite/hypotenuse. Thus, when A is the reference angle, 21 is the measure of the opposite side (CB) and 29 is the measure of the hypotenuse (AB).

Cos represents adjacent/hypotenuse. Therefore, when A is the reference angle, 20 is the measure of the adjacent side (AC) and 29 is the measure of the hypotenuse (AB).
