A.It is the same in both triangles.
B.It doubles in the larger triangle.
C.It halves in the larger triangle.
D.It cannot be compared because the sizes are different.

Section B: Mixed Reasoning

Question 6mcq
In a problem, ∠A\angle A is selected, but a student uses the side opposite another angle to calculate sin⁡A\sin A. What is the best diagnosis?
A.The student correctly used any non-hypotenuse side.
