### Based on the figure, select **all** true equations.

There is a right triangle ABC with one angle of 48° at vertex A. The sides of the triangle are labeled as follows:

- Side opposite the 48° angle (BC) is labeled \( a \).
- Side adjacent to the 48° angle (AC) is labeled \( b \).
- Hypotenuse (AB) is labeled \( c \).

The given options are:

- **A** \( \tan(48°) = \dfrac{a}{b} \)
- **B** \( \sin(48°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)
- **C** \( \cos(42°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)
- **D** \( \sin(42°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)
- **E** \( \tan(42°) = \dfrac{b}{a} \)
- **F** \( \cos(48°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)

To solve this problem, we need to use the definitions of trigonometric functions:
- \( \sin(\theta) = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \)
- \( \cos(\theta) = \dfrac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \)
- \( \tan(\theta) = \dfrac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \)

For the given triangle:
- \( \sin(48°) = \dfrac{a}{c} \)
- \( \cos(48°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)
- \( \tan(48°) = \dfrac{a}{b} \)

Additionally, we can use the complementary angle property (90° - θ) and the definitions above:
- \( \sin(42°) = \cos(48°) = \dfrac{b}{c} \)
- \( \cos(42°) = \sin(48°) = \dfrac{a}{c} \)
- \( \tan(42°) = \dfrac{1}{\tan(48°)} = \dfrac{b}{a} \)

Based on these relationships, **A**, **C**, **D**, **
