- $\sin\text{A}$
- $\cos\text{A}$
- $\sin\text{C}$
- $\cos\text{C}.$

Answer
By pythagoras theoram, we have
$\text{AC}^2 = \text{AB}^2 - \text{BC}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2=(24)^2+(7)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2=576+49=625$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}=25\text{cm}$
Now, For T-Ratios of $\angle\text{A},$ base = AB and perpendicular = BC
- $\sin\text{A}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}=\frac{7}{25}$
- $\cos\text{A}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}=\frac{24}{25}$
- $\sin\text{C}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}=\frac{24}{25}$
- $\cos\text{C}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}=\frac{7}{25}.$
