### Trigonometric Ratios and Right-Angle Triangle

Identify the ratios that correspond to below, where \( AB = 8 \), \( BC = 5 \), and \( AC = 9.4 \).

#### Right-Angle Triangle Diagram:

A diagram of a right-angled triangle is shown with the following vertices:
- \( A \) at the top left corner
- \( B \) at the top right corner, forming the right angle
- \( C \) at the bottom right corner

The triangle sides are labeled as follows:
- \( AB \) (the adjacent side to angle \( A \)) = 8 units
- \( BC \) (the opposite side to angle \( A \)) = 5 units
- \( AC \) (the hypotenuse) = 9.4 units

#### Trigonometric Ratios Options:

A. \[
\sin (A) = \frac{8}{9.4} \quad \cos (A) = \frac{5}{9.4}
\]

B. \[
\sin (A) = \frac{5}{8} \quad \cos (A) = \frac{8}{9.4}
\]

C. \[
\sin (A) = \frac{5}{9.4} \quad \cos (A) = \frac{8}{9.4}
\]

D. \[
\sin (A) = \frac{5}{9.4} \quad \cos (A) = \frac{8}{9.4}
\]

In your study, the correct choice involves using the appropriate side lengths relative to angle \( A \) to determine the sine and cosine values. The sine function (\(\sin\)) relates the opposite side to the hypotenuse, while the cosine function (\(\cos\)) relates the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.
