    To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

    1. You have the following information given in the problem above: The l eg AC has length 18, the leg BC has length 24, and the hypotenuse AB has length 30.

    2. Therefore, you have:

    - You have that SinA is:

    SinA=Opposite/Hypotenuse

    SinA=24/30

    SinA=4/5

    - You have that CosA is:

    CosA=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

    CosA=18/30

    CosA=3/5

    Although there i no triangle given as the question requires, I am still going to answer because I understand it.

    ABC is a right angled triangle. The triangle is 90° at C.

    The trigonometric ratio sine is given by, sine = opposite/hypotenuse.

    Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

    So therefore, Sin A = 24/30

    = 4/5

    Cos A = 18/30

    = 3/5
