Transcribed Image Text:Select the correct answer.
Triangle XYZ has an altitude of h. Jayden proves the area of AXYZ using trigonometry. His work is shown.
Y
h
b
a
y
The area of AXYZ is Zyh by the definition of the area of a triangle. Using the sine ratio, 81n(X) = 7. Also, *3in(X) = h is true by the
multiplication property of equality. So, by the substitution property of equality, the area of AXYZ is
Where did Jayden make his first error in the proof?
O A.
The area of AXYZ İs incorrect. It should be ah.
OB.
The sine ratio sin(X) = is incorrect. It should be sin(Y) = .
Oc.
The area of AXYZ İs incorrect. It should be
O D.
The sine ratio sin(X) = is incorrect. It should be gin(Z) =
