In ΔABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. Determine: (i) sin A, cos A (ii) sin C, cos C
A sin A = 7/25, cos A = 24/25; sin C = 24/25, cos C = 7/25
B sin A = 24/25, cos A = 7/25; sin C = 7/25, cos C = 24/25
C sin A = 7/24, cos A = 24/7; sin C = 1/25, cos C = 24/25
D sin A = 25/7, cos A = 25/24; sin C = 25/24, cos C = 25/7

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Find Hypotenuse AC using Pythagoras theorem
AC² = AB² + BC² = 24² + 7² = 576 + 49 = 625
AC = √625 = 25 cm
Step 2: For angle A (Perpendicular = BC = 7, Base = AB = 24)
sin A = P/H = 7/25, cos A = B/H = 24/25
Step 3: For angle C (Perpendicular = AB = 24, Base = BC = 7)

In Fig. 8.13, find tan P – cot R. (Given: PQ = 12 cm, PR = 13 cm, right-angled at Q)
A 119/156
B 156/119
C 0
D 1

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Find QR using Pythagoras theorem
PR² = PQ² + QR² → 13² = 12² + QR² → 169 = 144 + QR²
QR² = 25 → QR = 5 cm
Step 2: Calculate tan P and cot R
tan P = QR/PQ = 5/12
cot R = QR/PQ = 5/12 (Base/Perpendicular for angle R)
Step 3: tan P – cot R = 5/12 – 5/12 = 0

If sin A = 3/4, calculate cos A and tan A.
A cos A = 4/5, tan A = 3/5
B cos A = √7/4, tan A = 3/√7
C cos A = √7/3, tan A = 4/3
D cos A = 1/4, tan A = 3

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Use Pythagorean identity sin²A + cos²A = 1
(3/4)² + cos²A = 1 → 9/16 + cos²A = 1
cos²A = 1 – 9/16 = 7/16
Step 2: cos A = √(7/16) = √7/4
Step 3: tan A = sin A / cos A = (3/4) / (√7/4) = 3/√7

Given 15 cot A = 8, find sin A and sec A.
A sin A = 15/17, sec A = 17/8
B sin A = 8/17, sec A = 17/15
C sin A = 15/8, sec A = 8/17
D sin A = 17/15, sec A = 15/8

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Find cot A
15 cot A = 8 → cot A = 8/15
Step 2: Construct right triangle (Base = 8, Perpendicular = 15)
Hypotenuse² = 8² + 15² = 64 + 225 = 289 → H = 17
Step 3: sin A = P/H = 15/17, sec A = H/B = 17/8
5
Given sec θ = 13/12, calculate all other trigonometric ratios.
A sin θ = 5/13, cos θ = 12/13, tan θ = 5/12, cot θ = 12/5, cosec θ = 13/5
B sin θ = 12/13, cos θ = 5/13, tan θ = 12/5, cot θ = 5/12, cosec θ = 13/12
C sin θ = 13/5, cos θ = 12/13, tan θ = 5/12, cot θ = 12/5, cosec θ = 5/13
D sin θ = 5/12, cos θ = 13/12, tan θ = 5/13, cot θ = 13/5, cosec θ = 12/5

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Find cos θ
cos θ = 1/sec θ = 12/13
Step 2: Find sin θ using identity sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
sin²θ = 1 – (12/13)² = 1 – 144/169 = 25/169 → sin θ = 5/13
Step 3: tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = 5/12, cot θ = 12/5, cosec θ = 13/5
6
If ∠A and ∠B are acute angles such that cos A = cos B, then show that ∠A = ∠B.
A Construct triangles and use Pythagoras to show sides are proportional, hence angles equal
B cos A = cos B implies A = 90° - B always
C This is only true when A = B = 45°
D The statement is false; cos A = cos B does not imply A = B

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Consider right triangles with angles A and B
cos A = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = AC/AB
cos B = Adjacent/Hypotenuse = BC/AB (in different triangle)
Step 2: Given cos A = cos B, we have AC/AB = PQ/PR (say)
Step 3: This means the ratio of sides is equal, so by SSS similarity, triangles are similar
Step 4: Therefore, corresponding angles are equal: ∠A = ∠B
7
If cot θ = 7/8, evaluate: (i) [(1+sin θ)(1–sin θ)]/[(1+cos θ)(1–cos θ)] (ii) cot²θ
A (i) 49/64 (ii) 49/64
B (i) 64/49 (ii) 64/49
C (i) 1 (ii) 49/64
D (i) 49/113 (ii) 49/64

✅ Solution:

Part (i):
Numerator: (1 + sin θ)(1 – sin θ) = 1 – sin²θ = cos²θ
Denominator: (1 + cos θ)(1 – cos θ) = 1 – cos²θ = sin²θ
So, expression = cos²θ/sin²θ = cot²θ = (7/8)² = 49/64
Part (ii): cot²θ = (7/8)² = 49/64
8
If 3 cot A = 4, check whether (1 – tan²A)/(1 + tan²A) = cos²A – sin²A or not.
A Yes, both sides equal 7/25
B No, LHS = 7/25 but RHS = 24/25
C No, LHS = 24/25 but RHS = 7/25
D Cannot be determined

✅ Solution:

Step 1: 3 cot A = 4 → cot A = 4/3 → tan A = 3/4
Step 2: LHS = (1 – tan²A)/(1 + tan²A) = (1 – 9/16)/(1 + 9/16) = (7/16)/(25/16) = 7/25
Step 3: For RHS, from tan A = 3/4, we get sin A = 3/5, cos A = 4/5
cos²A – sin²A = (16/25) – (9/25) = 7/25
Conclusion: LHS = RHS = 7/25 ✓ The identity holds.

In triangle ABC, right-angled at B, if tan A = 1/√3, find: (i) sin A cos C + cos A sin C (ii) cos A cos C – sin A sin C
A (i) 1 (ii) 0
B (i) 0 (ii) 1
C (i) √3/2 (ii) 1/2
D (i) 1/2 (ii) √3/2

✅ Solution:

Step 1: tan A = 1/√3 → A = 30°
Since A + C = 90° (right triangle), C = 60°
Step 2: sin 30° = 1/2, cos 30° = √3/2, sin 60° = √3/2, cos 60° = 1/2
Part (i): sin A cos C + cos A sin C = sin(A+C) = sin 90° = 1
= (1/2)(1/2) + (√3/2)(√3/2) = 1/4 + 3/4 = 1
Part (ii): cos A cos C – sin A sin C = cos(A+C) = cos 90° = 0
= (√3/2)(1/2) – (1/2)(√3/2) = √3/4 – √3/4 = 0

In ΔPQR, right-angled at Q, PR + QR = 25 cm and PQ = 5 cm. Determine sin P, cos P and tan P.
A sin P = 12/13, cos P = 5/13, tan P = 12/5
B sin P = 5/13, cos P = 12/13, tan P = 5/12
C sin P = 15/17, cos P = 8/17, tan P = 15/8
D sin P = 8/17, cos P = 15/17, tan P = 8/15

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Let QR = x, then PR = 25 – x
By Pythagoras: PR² = PQ² + QR²
(25 – x)² = 5² + x² → 625 – 50x + x² = 25 + x²
600 = 50x → x = 12
Step 2: QR = 12 cm, PR = 25 – 12 = 13 cm
Step 3: For angle P: Perpendicular = QR = 12, Base = PQ = 5, Hypotenuse = PR = 13
sin P = 12/13, cos P = 5/13, tan P = 12/5

State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) The value of tan A is always less than 1.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

False. tan A can be greater than 1. For example, tan 60° = √3 ≈ 1.732 > 1.
(ii) sec A = 12/5 for some value of angle A.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

True. sec A = Hypotenuse/Base. If we construct a right triangle with Hypotenuse = 12 and Base = 5, then Perpendicular = √(144-25) = √119. So such an angle A exists.
(iii) cos A is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

False. cos A is the abbreviation for cosine of angle A. Cosecant is abbreviated as cosec A.
(iv) cot A is the product of cot and A.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

False. cot A is not a product. It is a single trigonometric ratio representing cotangent of angle A.
(v) sin θ = 4/3 for some angle θ.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

False. sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse, and Hypotenuse is always the largest side. So sin θ ≤ 1 always. Since 4/3 > 1, this is impossible.

A √3/(2√2)
B (√3–1)/(2√2) or 1/(√3+1) after rationalization
C √2/4
D √3/4

✅ Solution:

Step 1: cos 45° = 1/√2, sec 30° = 2/√3, cosec 30° = 2
Step 2: Denominator = 2/√3 + 2 = (2 + 2√3)/√3 = 2(1 + √3)/√3
Step 3: Expression = (1/√2) / [2(1+√3)/√3] = √3 / [2√2(1+√3)]
Rationalizing: = √3(√3–1) / [2√2(3–1)] = (3–√3) / (4√2) = (√3–1)/(2√2)
(iv) (sin 30° + tan 45° – cosec 60°)/(sec 30° + cos 60° + cot 45°)
A 1/2
B (43 – 24√3)/11 after full simplification
C 0
D 1

✅ Solution:

Step 1: Numerator = 1/2 + 1 – 2/√3 = 3/2 – 2/√3 = (3√3 – 4)/(2√3)
Step 2: Denominator = 2/√3 + 1/2 + 1 = 2/√3 + 3/2 = (4 + 3√3)/(2√3)
Step 3: Expression = (3√3 – 4)/(4 + 3√3)
Rationalize: multiply by (4 – 3√3)/(4 – 3√3)
= (3√3 – 4)(4 – 3√3) / (16 – 27) = (12√3 – 27 – 16 + 12√3) / (–11)
= (24√3 – 43) / (–11) = (43 – 24√3)/11

Step 2: = (2/√3) / (2/3) = (2/√3) × (3/2) = 3/√3 = √3
Step 3: √3 = tan 60°
3

Step 3: Adding: 2A = 90° → A = 45°
Subtracting: 2B = 30° → B = 15°
Verification: tan(45°+15°) = tan 60° = √3 ✓, tan(45°–15°) = tan 30° = 1/√3 ✓
4
State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

False. Let A = 30°, B = 60°
LHS = sin(90°) = 1
RHS = sin 30° + sin 60° = 1/2 + √3/2 = (1+√3)/2 ≈ 1.366 ≠ 1
(ii) The value of sin θ increases as θ increases.
A True (for 0° to 90°)
B False

✅ Solution:

True (for acute angles 0° to 90°).
sin 0° = 0, sin 30° = 0.5, sin 45° = 0.707, sin 60° = 0.866, sin 90° = 1
The value clearly increases as θ increases from 0° to 90°.
(iii) The value of cos θ increases as θ increases.

✅ Solution:

False. sin θ = cos θ only when θ = 45° (for acute angles).
For example, sin 30° = 1/2 but cos 30° = √3/2, which are not equal.
(v) cot A is not defined for A = 0°.
A True
B False

✅ Solution:

True. cot A = cos A/sin A = cos 0°/sin 0° = 1/0, which is undefined.
Division by zero is not defined.

= (1 + sinθ/cosθ + 1/cosθ)(1 + cosθ/sinθ – 1/sinθ)
= [(cosθ + sinθ + 1)/cosθ] × [(sinθ + cosθ – 1)/sinθ]
Step 2: Let x = sinθ + cosθ
= [(x + 1)/cosθ] × [(x – 1)/sinθ] = (x² – 1)/(sinθ cosθ)
Step 3: x² = sin²θ + cos²θ + 2sinθcosθ = 1 + 2sinθcosθ
x² – 1 = 2sinθcosθ → Result = 2sinθcosθ / sinθcosθ = 2

Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the expressions are defined.
(i) (cosec θ – cot θ)² = (1 – cos θ)/(1 + cos θ)
LHS: (cosec θ – cot θ)² = (1/sin θ – cos θ/sin θ)² = [(1 – cos θ)/sin θ]²
= (1 – cos θ)²/sin²θ = (1 – cos θ)²/(1 – cos²θ)
= (1 – cos θ)²/[(1 – cos θ)(1 + cos θ)] = (1 – cos θ)/(1 + cos θ) = RHS ✓
(ii) cos A/(1 + sin A) + (1 + sin A)/cos A = 2 sec A
LHS: = [cos²A + (1 + sin A)²]/[cos A(1 + sin A)]
= [cos²A + 1 + 2sin A + sin²A]/[cos A(1 + sin A)]
= [(cos²A + sin²A) + 1 + 2sin A]/[cos A(1 + sin A)]
= [1 + 1 + 2sin A]/[cos A(1 + sin A)] = [2 + 2sin A]/[cos A(1 + sin A)]
= 2(1 + sin A)/[cos A(1 + sin A)] = 2/cos A = 2 sec A = RHS ✓
(iii) tan θ/(1 – cot θ) + cot θ/(1 – tan θ) = 1 + sec θ cosec θ
LHS: Write in terms of sin and cos
= (sin θ/cos θ)/[1 – (cos θ/sin θ)] + (cos θ/sin θ)/[1 – (sin θ/cos θ)]
= (sin θ/cos θ)/[(sin θ – cos θ)/sin θ] + (cos θ/sin θ)/[(cos θ – sin θ)/cos θ]
= sin²θ/[cos θ(sin θ – cos θ)] + cos²θ/[sin θ(cos θ – sin θ)]
= sin²θ/[cos θ(sin θ – cos θ)] – cos²θ/[sin θ(sin θ – cos θ)]
= [sin³θ – cos³θ]/[sin θ cos θ(sin θ – cos θ)]
= [(sin θ – cos θ)(sin²θ + sin θ cos θ + cos²θ)]/[sin θ cos θ(sin θ – cos θ)]
= (1 + sin θ cos θ)/(sin θ cos θ) = 1/(sin θ cos θ) + 1 = sec θ cosec θ + 1 = RHS ✓
(iv) (1 + sec A)/sec A = sin²A/(1 – cos A)
LHS: (1 + sec A)/sec A = 1/sec A + sec A/sec A = cos A + 1
RHS: sin²A/(1 – cos A) = (1 – cos²A)/(1 – cos A) = (1 – cos A)(1 + cos A)/(1 – cos A) = 1 + cos A
LHS = RHS = 1 + cos A
(v) (cos A – sin A + 1)/(cos A + sin A – 1) = cosec A + cot A
Divide numerator and denominator by sin A:
LHS: = (cot A – 1 + cosec A)/(cot A + 1 – cosec A)
Using cosec²A = 1 + cot²A, we can verify this equals cosec A + cot A
= [(cosec A + cot A) – 1]/[(cot A – cosec A) + 1] = cosec A + cot A = RHS ✓
(vi) √[(1 + sin A)/(1 – sin A)] = sec A + tan A
LHS: Multiply numerator and denominator inside root by (1 + sin A)
= √[(1 + sin A)²/(1 – sin²A)] = √[(1 + sin A)²/cos²A]
= (1 + sin A)/cos A = 1/cos A + sin A/cos A = sec A + tan A = RHS ✓
(vii) (sin θ – 2 sin³θ)/(2 cos³θ – cos θ) = tan θ
LHS: = sin θ(1 – 2 sin²θ)/[cos θ(2 cos²θ – 1)]
Using cos 2θ = 1 – 2sin²θ = 2cos²θ – 1:
= sin θ(cos 2θ)/[cos θ(cos 2θ)] = sin θ/cos θ = tan θ = RHS ✓
(viii) (sin A + cosec A)² + (cos A + sec A)² = 7 + tan²A + cot²A
LHS: = sin²A + cosec²A + 2 sin A cosec A + cos²A + sec²A + 2 cos A sec A
= (sin²A + cos²A) + cosec²A + sec²A + 2 + 2
= 1 + (1 + cot²A) + (1 + tan²A) + 4
= 7 + tan²A + cot²A = RHS ✓
(ix) (cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A) = 1/(tan A + cot A)
LHS: = [(1 – sin²A)/sin A] × [(1 – cos²A)/cos A]
= [cos²A/sin A] × [sin²A/cos A] = sin A cos A
RHS: 1/(tan A + cot A) = 1/[(sin A/cos A) + (cos A/sin A)]
= 1/[(sin²A + cos²A)/(sin A cos A)] = sin A cos A
LHS = RHS
(x) [(1 + tan²A)/(1 + cot²A)] = [(1 – tan A)/(1 – cot A)]² = tan²A
First part: (1 + tan²A)/(1 + cot²A) = sec²A/cosec²A = (1/cos²A)/(1/sin²A) = sin²A/cos²A = tan²A ✓
Second part: [(1 – tan A)/(1 – cot A)]²
= [(1 – tan A)/(1 – 1/tan A)]² = [(1 – tan A)/((tan A – 1)/tan A)]²
= [(1 – tan A) × tan A/(tan A – 1)]² = [–tan A]² = tan²A = RHS ✓
