Provide an appropriate response.Use the fact that the hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle to explain why the sine or cosine of an angle will never be greater than one.

What will be an ideal response?


In both trigonometric ratios, the hypotenuse is in the denominator and is larger than the numerator. Thus, the value of the fraction will be less than one.
