1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle ABC with right angle at A, sides AC = 8 cm, AB = 6 cm, and hypotenuse BC = 10 cm. We need to verify which of the given trigonometric statements are true.
2. **Recall definitions:**
- $\sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
- $\tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$
3. **Identify sides relative to angles:**
- For angle $C$:
- Opposite side = $AB = 6$ cm
- Adjacent side = $AC = 8$ cm
- Hypotenuse = $BC = 10$ cm
- For angle $B$:
- Opposite side = $AC = 8$ cm
- Adjacent side = $AB = 6$ cm
- Hypotenuse = $BC = 10$ cm
4. **Check each statement:**
- $\sin C = \frac{8}{10}$?
- $\sin C = \frac{\text{opposite to } C}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{6}{10}$, so $\sin C = \frac{6}{10} \neq \frac{8}{10}$ (False)
- $\cos B = \frac{6}{10}$?
- $\cos B = \frac{\text{adjacent to } B}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{6}{10}$ (True)
- $\tan C = \frac{6}{8}$?
- $\tan C = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{6}{8}$ (True)
- $\sin B = \cos C$?
- $\sin B = \frac{8}{10}$
- $\cos C = \frac{8}{10}$
- So $\sin B = \cos C$ (True)
- $\sin B = \frac{6}{10}$?
- $\sin B = \frac{8}{10} \neq \frac{6}{10}$ (False)
5. **Final answers:**
- True statements: $\cos B = \frac{6}{10}$, $\tan C = \frac{6}{8}$, $\sin B = \cos C$
- False statements: $\sin C = \frac{8}{10}$, $\sin B = \frac{6}{10}$
