Answer:

Boden's conjecture is correct

Explanation:

we know that

If two angles are complementary, the cofunction identities state that the sine of one equals the cosine of the other and vice versa.

A right triangle, has two acute angles.

The two acute angles are complementary

so

In any right triangle, the sine of one acute angle is equal to the cosine of the other acute angle

therefore

Boden's conjecture is correct
