1. SOH CAH TOA tells you the tangent is the ratio of the Opposite side to the Adjacent side, that is, 4/3. (This correct answer is not among your choices.)

2. The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA can be helpful here. It tells you

... Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

... Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

... Tan = Opposite/Adjacent


(c)/(b)=tan(C)\\\\ (b)/(a)=sin(B)\\\\ (b)/(c)=tan(B)\\\\ (c)/(a)=cos(B)

3. Reference the ratios listed above (for the second problem). You see that sin(α) = cos(90°-α). That is, the sine of an angle is the cosine of its complement and vice versa. The appropriate choice is

... D. 19/20
