1. The problem asks to write the ratios equal to $\sin A$ and $\cos A$ for the given right triangle.
2. Recall the definitions for sine and cosine in a right triangle:
- $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
3. From the triangle, angle $A$ is at vertex $C$. The hypotenuse is side $AC = 20$.
4. Identify the sides relative to angle $A$:
- Opposite side to angle $A$ is $AB = 16$
- Adjacent side to angle $A$ is $BC = 12$
5. Write the ratios:
- $\sin A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{16}{20}$
- $\cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{12}{20}$
6. Simplify the fractions:
- $\sin A = \frac{\cancel{16}}{\cancel{20}} = \frac{4}{5}$
- $\cos A = \frac{\cancel{12}}{\cancel{20}} = \frac{3}{5}$
7. Final answer:
$$\sin A = \frac{4}{5}, \quad \cos A = \frac{3}{5}$$
