analyzing cofunctions consider △lmn. m∠l + m∠m = sin (l) = sin (m) =
Step1: Recall triangle - angle sum property
In a right - triangle $\triangle LMN$ with $\angle N = 90^{\circ}$, the sum of the non - right angles $\angle L$ and $\angle M$ is $90^{\circ}$ since the sum of all angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$ ($m\angle L+m\angle M + m\angle N=180^{\circ}$, and $m\angle N = 90^{\circ}$).
Step2: Use sine function definition
Given $\angle L = 42^{\circ}$, $\sin(L)=\sin(42^{\circ})\approx0.6691$. Given $\angle M = 48^{\circ}$, $\sin(M)=\sin(48^{\circ})\approx0.7431$. But if we consider the options in terms of the angle - related values, we know that for a right - triangle, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
