Question

If p is an acute angle in a scalene right triangle then sin(p) = cos(p) is this statement always, sometimes, or never true?

Answer 1

The statement "sin(p) = cos(p)" is never true for an acute angle in a scalene right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a scalene right triangle, the two acute angles are always different from each other. Therefore, the sine and cosine of the angles will be different as well.

Since sin(p) is not equal to cos(p) in a scalene right triangle, the statement "sin(p) = cos(p)" is never true for an acute angle in a scalene right triangle.
