How are the two co-functions (sine and cosine) related?
In right triangle ABC, the measurement of acute angle ≮ A is denoted
by α (alpha), and the measurement of acute angle ≮ B is denoted by β (beta).
α and β are a pair of _____________________ angles

Based on the results in the above table, what can you conclude ?
• Since the ratios for sine α & cosine β are the same, ________ = ________.
• Since the ratios for cosine α & sine β are the same, ________ = ________ .
The sine of an angle is equal to the _______ of its ________________, and
the_________ of an angle is equal to the ___________ of its complement.
  For complementary angles α and β, sin α = cos ____ and cos ___ = sin β.
Given measure θ such that 0 < θ < 90, cos (θ) = sin (90 - θ) and sin θ = cos (90 - θ).
Any two complementary angles can be the two ________ angles in a right triangle.
The co- prefix in cosine refers to the fact that the cosine of an angle
equals the sine of its ___________________.
