Answer:

C but see below.

Explanation:

If I'm reading this correctly, you mean 31/24. It really can't be much else. The sine and cosine are both incorrect because both involve the hypotenuse which must be calculated in order for them to be considered. In addition 31/24 is greater than one which is impossible for both the Sine and the Cosine.

That leaves K and D

Tan(D) = 24/31 which is not an option.

That leaves C.

tan(K) = 31/24 which is what you have to choose. If your choice is not written this way, then there is no answer.
