1. **Stating the problem:**
We have a right triangle ABC with a right angle at C. Given that $\sin A = \frac{4}{5}$, we need to determine which of the given statements are true.
2. **Recall important trigonometric rules for right triangles:**
- $\sin A = \frac{\text{opposite side to } A}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent side to } A}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\tan A = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}$
- Complementary angles satisfy $\sin(90^\circ - A) = \cos A$ and $\cos(90^\circ - A) = \sin A$
- Since $\triangle ABC$ is right angled at C, angles A and B are complementary: $A + B = 90^\circ$
3. **Find $\cos A$ and $\tan A$ using $\sin A = \frac{4}{5}$:**
Using Pythagoras theorem for the sides opposite and adjacent to angle A:
$$\cos A = \sqrt{1 - \sin^2 A} = \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2} = \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{25}} = \frac{3}{5}$$
$$\tan A = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{3}{5}} = \frac{4}{3}$$
4. **Evaluate each statement:**
- **cos A = 3/5**: True, as calculated above.
- **sin (90° - A) = 4/5**: Since $\sin(90^\circ - A) = \cos A = \frac{3}{5}$, this statement is False.
- **tan B = 3/4**: Since $B = 90^\circ - A$, $\tan B = \tan(90^\circ - A) = \cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} = \frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{3}{4}$, so True.
- **cot A = 3/4**: $\cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} = \frac{1}{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{3}{4}$, True.
- **sin A > cos B**: Since $B = 90^\circ - A$, $\cos B = \cos(90^\circ - A) = \sin A = \frac{4}{5}$. So $\sin A = \cos B$, not greater. False.
5. **Final answers:**
- cos A = 3/5: True
- sin (90° - A) = 4/5: False
- tan B = 3/4: True
- cot A = 3/4: True
- sin A > cos B: False
