Answer:

never true

Explanation:

If angles A and B are complementary, their measures add to 90º.

This means that if:

m∠B = 55º,

then:

m∠A = (90 - 55)º = 45º

Using this information, we can make the assertion that because:

55º ≠ 45º,

m∠A ≠ m∠B,

and thus:

sin(A) ≠ sin(B)

because 55º and 45º are NOT coterminal angles.

Therefore, the statement

sin(A) = sin(B)

is never true.
