Detailed Solution

Suppose the triangle is as follows, 

Question Image

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

AC2=AB2+BC2

AC2 = (24)2+72

AC2 = (576+49)

AC2 = 625cm2

AC = 625= 25

Therefore, AC = 25 cm

(i) To find Sin (A), Cos (A)

It is known that sine (or) Sin function is the equal to the ratio of length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse side. So it becomes

Sin A =Opposite sideHypotenuse= BCAC=725

Cosine or Cos function is equal to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse side and it becomes,

Cos A =Adjacent sideHypotenuse= ABAC= 2425

(ii) To find Sin (C), Cos (C)

Sin C =Opposite sideHypotenuse= ABAC=2425

Cos C =Adjacent sideHypotenuse= BCAC= 725
