Answer

$\sin 70^{\circ}=\cos 20^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

The trigonometric ratios are as follows: $\sin \theta= \dfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$ ; $\cos \theta= \dfrac{Adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ and $\tan \theta= \dfrac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$ Since, $\sin \theta=\cos (90^{\circ}-\theta)$ So, $\sin 70^{\circ}=\cos (90^{\circ}-70^{\circ})=\cos 20^{\circ}$ Our required answer is: $\sin 70^{\circ}=\cos 20^{\circ}$
