### Identifying True Statements in a Scalene Triangle

Consider the right-angled triangle \( \Delta CAB \) shown in the diagram. For this triangle:

- \( \angle CAB \) is represented by \( \alpha \)
- \( \angle CBA \) (the right angle)
- \( \angle ADB \) is represented by \( \beta \)

The triangle has sides labeled as follows:
- Side \( a \) opposite angle \( \alpha \)
- Side \( b \) adjacent to angle \( \alpha \)
- Hypotenuse \( c \)

### Problem Statement

Identify ALL of the following statements that are true in the given \( \Delta CAB \) where \( \alpha + \beta = 90^\circ \): (1 point)

- **A.** \( \sin(\beta) = \cos(\alpha) \)
- **B.** \( \tan(\beta) = \tan(\alpha) \)
- **C.** \( \cos(\beta) = \sin(\alpha) \)
- **D.** \( \cos(\beta) = \sin(90^\circ - \alpha) \)

**Answer Options:**

- ☐ A
- ☐ B
- ☐ C
- ☐ D

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram provided is a right-angled triangle labeled \( \Delta CAB \):

- \( \angle CBA = 90^\circ \)
- \( \angle CAB = \alpha \)
- \( \angle ADB = \beta \)
- Side opposite \( \alpha \) is \( a \)
- Side adjacent to \( \alpha \) is \( b \)
- Hypotenuse is \( c \)

### Analysis of Statements

- **Statement A:** \( \sin(\beta) = \cos(\alpha) \)
  - By trigonometric identity in a right triangle, this is true because \( \beta = 90^\circ - \alpha \). Therefore, \( \sin(\beta) = \sin(90^\circ - \alpha) = \cos(\alpha) \).

- **Statement B:** \( \tan(\beta) = \tan(\alpha) \)
  - This is false. \( \tan(\beta) = \tan(90^\circ - \alpha) = \cot(\alpha) \). Therefore, \( \tan(\beta) \neq \tan(\alpha)
