Answer the following questions related to complementary angles: a. (i) State the relationship between sin⁡(90∘−A)\sin(90^{\circ}-A) and cos⁡A\cos A as well as between cos⁡(90∘−A)\cos(90^{\circ}-A) and sin⁡A\sin A for an acute angle AA in a right-angled triangle. b. (ii) With the help of a labelled right-angled triangle, explain why sin⁡(90∘−A)=cos⁡A\sin(90^{\circ}-A)=\cos A. c. (iii) Taking A=30∘A=30^{\circ}, verify numerically that the identity stated in part (i) is true.
