The calculated values of sin D, sin E, cos D, and cos E are cosD = sinE = 9/15 and cosE = sinD = 12/15

How to determine the values of sin D, sin E, cos D, and cos E

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The right triangle

Where, we have

Hypotenuse = 15

Opposite = 12 or 9

Adjacent = 9 or 12

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

sinE = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sinE = 9/15

This also means that

cosD = sinE = 9/15

Next, we have

sinD = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin D = 12/15

This also means that

cosE = sinD = 12/15

Hence, the value of cosE and sinD are equal to 12/15
