1. **State the problem:**
We are given a triangle LMN with sides $\ell=15$, $m=36$, and $n=39$. We need to find $\sin L$, $\cos L$, $\tan L$, $\sin M$, $\cos M$, and $\tan M$.
2. **Recall definitions:**
For angle $L$, opposite side is $\ell=15$, adjacent side is $m=36$, and hypotenuse is $n=39$.
3. **Formulas:**
$$\sin L = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{\ell}{n}$$
$$\cos L = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{m}{n}$$
$$\tan L = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{\ell}{m}$$
4. **Calculate for angle L:**
$$\sin L = \frac{15}{39} = \frac{5 \times 3}{13 \times 3} = \frac{5}{13} \approx 0.38$$
$$\cos L = \frac{36}{39} = \frac{12 \times 3}{13 \times 3} = \frac{12}{13} \approx 0.92$$
$$\tan L = \frac{15}{36} = \frac{5 \times 3}{12 \times 3} = \frac{5}{12} \approx 0.42$$
5. **For angle M:**
Opposite side is $m=36$, adjacent side is $\ell=15$, hypotenuse is $n=39$.
6. **Formulas for angle M:**
$$\sin M = \frac{m}{n}$$
$$\cos M = \frac{\ell}{n}$$
$$\tan M = \frac{m}{\ell}$$
7. **Calculate for angle M:**
$$\sin M = \frac{36}{39} = \frac{12}{13} \approx 0.92$$
$$\cos M = \frac{15}{39} = \frac{5}{13} \approx 0.38$$
$$\tan M = \frac{36}{15} = \frac{12}{5} = 2.4$$
**Final answers:**
- $\sin L = \frac{5}{13}$
- $\cos L = \frac{12}{13}$
- $\tan L = \frac{5}{12}$
- $\sin M = \frac{12}{13}$
- $\cos M = \frac{5}{13}$
- $\tan M = \frac{12}{5}$
