1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with sides 4 (vertical), 4\sqrt{3} (horizontal), and 8 (hypotenuse), and angles 30° and 60°. We want to find \(\sin 60^\circ\) and \(\cos 60^\circ\) using this triangle.
2. **Recall definitions:**
- \(\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)
- \(\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)
3. **Identify sides for 60° angle:**
- Opposite side to 60° is the vertical side = 4
- Adjacent side to 60° is the horizontal side = 4\sqrt{3}
- Hypotenuse = 8
4. **Calculate \(\sin 60^\circ\):**
$$\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4}{8}$$
Simplify:
$$\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\cancel{4}}{\cancel{8}} = \frac{1}{2}$$
5. **Calculate \(\cos 60^\circ\):**
$$\cos 60^\circ = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{8}$$
Simplify:
$$\cos 60^\circ = \frac{\cancel{4}\sqrt{3}}{\cancel{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
6. **Final answers:**
- \(\sin 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\)
- \(\cos 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
