• Choice E
    57. Given that sin A = 5/13 and 0° A < 360°, what are all possible values of cos A ?

    It should be remembered that:

    sin2 A + cos2 A = 1

    ⇒ cos A = ± 12/13

    As can be seen from the diagram, in the domain from 0 to 2π (0°-360°), it is possible for cos A to be negative.
