Answer:

B, C, E, and F

Explanation:

Recall the acronym for trigonometric functions: SOHCAHTOA

Thus:

B = 180 - (48 + 90) = 42°

Let's find the trigonometric functions using 42° as the reference angle:

Opp = b

Hyp = c

Adj = a

Applying SOH:

Sin 42 = opp/hyp

✅Sin 42 = b/c (option C is correct)

Applying CAH:

Cos 42 = adj/hyp

✅Cos 42 = a/c (option A is incorrect)

Applying TOA:

Tan 42 = opp/adj

✅Tan 42 = b/a (option E is correct)

Using 48° as reference angle:

Opp = a

Hyp = c

Adj = b

Applying SOH:

Sin 48 = opp/hyp

✅Sin 48 = a/c (option D is incorrect)

Applying CAH:

Cos 48 = adj/hyp

✅Cos 48 = b/c (option B is correct)

Applying TOA:

Tan 48 = opp/adj

✅Tan 48 = a/b (option F is correct)
