The following equation about triangle ABC is true. Select all possible representations of ABC. sin [ 40° ] = b/c

### Triangle Trigonometry Problem

#### Problem Statement:
The following equation about triangle ABC is true. Select all possible representations of ABC. 
\[ \sin(40^\circ) = \frac{b}{c} \]

#### Options:

1. **Option 1:**
   - Right triangle with vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
   - Angle \( CAB = 90^\circ \).
   - Angle \( BCA = 40^\circ \).
   - Side opposite to \( 40^\circ \) (side \( a \)) is labeled.
   - Side opposite to \( 90^\circ \) (hypotenuse \( c \)) is labeled.
   - Side adjacent to \( 40^\circ \) (side \( b \)) is labeled.

2. **Option 2:**
   - Triangle with vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
   - Angle \( BAC = 40^\circ \).
   - Side opposite to \( 40^\circ \) (side \( b \)) is labeled.
   - Side adjacent to \( 40^\circ \) (side \( a \)) is labeled.
   - Side opposite to angle \( A \) (side \( c \)) is labeled.

3. **Option 3:**
   - Right triangle with vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
   - Angle \( BCA = 40^\circ \).
   - Angle \( ACB = 90^\circ \).
   - Side opposite to \( B = 40^\circ \) (side \( a \)) is labeled.
   - Side opposite to \( C = 90^\circ \) (hypotenuse \( c \)) is labeled.
   - Side adjacent to \( 40^\circ \) (side \( b \)) is labeled.

4. **Option 4:**
   - Triangle with vertices labeled \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \).
   - Angle \( BAC = 50^\circ \) indicated.
   - Side opposite to \( 50^\circ \) (side \( a \)) is labeled.
   - Remaining sides are labeled as \( b \) (opposite to \( C \)) and \( c \) (opposite to \( B \)).

#### Analysis:
To have \( \sin(40^\circ) = \

The image presents a right-angled triangle with vertices labeled A, B, and C. Vertex C is the right angle (90°), and the angles at vertices A and B are marked as follows:
- Angle BCA (vertex C angle) is 90°.
- Angle ABC (vertex B angle) is 50°.
- Angle BAC (vertex A angle) can be calculated as 40° because the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180° (180° - 90° - 50° = 40°).

The sides of the triangle are labeled with lowercase letters corresponding to the vertices opposite them:
- Side a: The side opposite angle BAC, connecting points A and B.
- Side b: The side opposite angle ABC, connecting points A and C.
- Side c: The hypotenuse opposite the right angle, connecting points B and C.

Under the image is a checkbox labeled "Option 5." There are no other options visible in the provided image.
