1. **Problem 7:** Given triangles \(\triangle ABC\) and \(\triangle DEF\) with right angles at \(\angle C\) and \(\angle F\), and \(\sin A = \cos D\), determine the relationship between pairs of angles. - Since \(\sin A = \cos D\), and for acute angles \(\sin \theta = \cos(90^\circ - \theta)\), it follows that \(A\) and \(D\) are complementary: \(A + D = 90^\circ\). - Both triangles have right angles at \(C\) and \(F\), so \(\angle C \cong \angle F = 90^\circ\). - In right triangles, the sum of the other two angles is \(90^\circ\), so \(B = 90^\circ - A\) and \(E = 90^\circ - D\). Now, analyze each pair: - \(\angle A\) and \(\angle D\): Complementary (since \(A + D = 90^\circ\)) - \(\angle B\) and \(\angle F\): \(B + F = (90^\circ - A) + 90^\circ = 180^\circ - A\), not complementary or congruent, so Neither - \(\angle B\) and \(\angle E\): Since \(B = 90^\circ - A\) and \(E = 90^\circ - D\), and \(A + D = 90^\circ\), then \(B = E\), so Congruent - \(\angle A\) and \(\angle E\): \(A + E = A + (90^\circ - D) = A + 90^\circ - D = 90^\circ + (A - D)\), not complementary or congruent, so Neither - \(\angle E\) and \(\angle D\): \(E + D = (90^\circ - D) + D = 90^\circ\), Complementary - \(\angle B\) and \(\angle D\): \(B + D = (90^\circ - A) + D = 90^\circ + (D - A)\), Neither 2. **Problem 8:** Find \(\sin(90^\circ - 40^\circ)\). - Use the complementary angle identity: \(\sin(90^\circ - \theta) = \cos \theta\). - So, \(\sin(90^\circ - 40^\circ) = \cos 40^\circ\). - From the triangle, \(\cos 40^\circ = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{AB}{BC}\). Answer: D) \(\cos 40^\circ\), or \(\frac{AB}{BC}\). 3. **Problem 9:** If \(\sin X = \cos Y\) for acute angles \(X\) and \(Y\), how are the angles related? - Since \(\sin X = \cos Y\) and \(\sin \theta = \cos(90^\circ - \theta)\), it follows \(X = 90^\circ - Y\). - Therefore, \(X\) and \(Y\) are complementary. Answer: B) complementary. 4. **Problem 10:** Find \(\cos(90^\circ - 25^\circ)\). - Using the complementary angle identity: \(\cos(90^\circ - \theta) = \sin \theta\). - So, \(\cos(90^\circ - 25^\circ) = \sin 25^\circ\). - From the triangle, \(\sin 25^\circ = \frac{EF}{DF}\). Answer: A) \(\sin 65^\circ\), or \(\frac{EF}{DF}\) (Note: \(\sin 65^\circ = \sin(90^\circ - 25^\circ) = \cos 25^\circ\), so the correct choice is A). 5. **Problem 11:** Find the cosine ratio of \(\angle Z\) in \(\triangle XYZ\) with right angle at \(Y\), \(XY = 6\), \(YZ = 4\). - First, find hypotenuse \(XZ\) using Pythagoras: $$XZ = \sqrt{XY^2 + YZ^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{36 + 16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}.$$ - Cosine of \(\angle Z\) is adjacent over hypotenuse. Adjacent side to \(Z\) is \(YZ = 4\). - So, $$\cos Z = \frac{YZ}{XZ} = \frac{4}{2\sqrt{13}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} = \frac{2\sqrt{13}}{13} \quad \text{(rationalized)}.$$ Answer: B) \(\frac{2\sqrt{13}}{13}\).
