Answer: The correct option is C

Explanation:

Looking at the right angle triangle ABC, three sides are known and the angles are unknown. To find sin A, we will take A to be our reference angle, we will have the following

Hypotenuse = AB = 26

Opposite side = BC = 24

Adjacent side = AC = 10

Applying trigonometric ratio

SinA = opposite/hypotenuse

SineA = 24/26

To find cos A, A remains our reference angle, we will have the following

Hypotenuse = AB = 26

Opposite side = BC = 24

Adjacent side = AC = 10

Applying trigonometric ratio

CosA = adjacent/hypotenuse

CosA = 10/26

The correct option is C
