Brie · Answer 1

The values of the simplified or solved trigonometric functions that are equal are sin and cos, given that the angles are complementary. From the choices above, the answer would be letter C.

sin 36° = 0.5877

cos 54° = 0.5877

It can also be observed that 36° and 54° will sum up to 90°.
