Exercise 8.1


Q1) In △ABC , 90∘ at B, AB=24cm, BC = 7cm.

Determine:

(i)sin(A), cos(A)

(ii) sin(C), cos(C)

Ans.) In △ABC , ∠B=90∘

By Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get

AC2=AB2+BC2

(24)2+72 =(576+49)

AC2 = 625cm2

à AC = 25cm

(i) sin(A) = BC/AC = 7/25

Cos(A) = AB/AC = 24/25

(ii) sin(C) = AB/AC =24/25

cos(C) = BC/AC = 7/25

 

Q2) In the given figure find tan(P) – cot(R)

Ans.) PR = 13cm,PQ = 12cm and QR = 5cm

According to Pythagorean theorem,

132=QR2+122 169=QR2+144 QR2=169−144=25 QR=25−−√=5

tan(P) = oppositesideadjacentside=QRPQ=512

cot(P) = adjacentsideoppositeside = PQQR = 512

tan(P) – cot(R) = 512−512=0

Therefore ,tan(P) – cot(R) = 0

 

Q3) If sin(A) = 3/4, calculate cos(A) and tan(A)

Ans.) Let △ABC , be a right-angled triangle, right-angled at B.

We know that sin(A) = BC/AC = 3/4

Let BC be 3k and AC will be 4k where k is a positive real number.

By Pythagoras theorem we get,

AC2=AB2+BC2

 

(4k)2=AB2+(3k)2

 

16k2−9k2=AB2

 

AB2=7k2

 

AB=7–√k

 

cos(A) = AB/AC = 7–√k/4k=7–√/4

tan(A) = BC/AB =3k/7–√=3/7–√

 

Q4) In question given below 15cot(A) = 8 ,find sin A and sec A.

Ans.)  Let △ABC be a right angled triangle, right-angled at B.

We know that cot(A) = AB/BC = 8/15

Given

Let AB side be 8k and BC side 15k

Where k is positive real number

By Pythagoras theorem we get,

AC2=AB2+BC2

 

AC2=(8k)2+(15k)2

 

AC2=64k2+225k2

 

AC2=289k2

AC = 17k

sin(A) = BC/AC = 15k/17k = 15/7

sec(A) =AC/AB =17k/8k = 17/8

 

Q5) Given sec Ѳ =13/12, calculate all other trigonometric ratios.

Ans.) Let  △ABC be right-angled triangle, right-angled at B.

We know that sec Ѳ =OP/OM =13/12(Given)

Let side OP be 13k and side OM will be 12k where k is positive real number.

By Pythagoras theorem we get,

OP2=OM2+MP2

 

(13k)2=(12k)2+MP2

 

169(k)2−144(k)2=MP2

 

MP2=25k2

MP = 5

Now,

sin Ѳ = MP/OP = 5k/13k =5/13

cos Ѳ = OM/OP = 12k/13k = 12/13

tan Ѳ = MP/OM = 5k/12k = 5/12

cot Ѳ = OM/MP = 12k/5k = 12/5

cosec Ѳ = OP/MP = 13k/5k = 13/5

 

Q6) If ∠A and ∠B are acute angles such that

 cos(A) = cos(B), then show ∠A =∠B .

Ans.) Let  △ABC in which CD⊥AB .

A/q,

cos(A) = cos(B)

à AD/AC = BD/BC

à AD/BD = AC/BC

Let  AD/BD =AC/BC =k

AD =kBD …. (i)

AC=kBC  …. (ii)

By applying Pythagoras theorem in △CAD and △CBD we get,

CD2=AC2−AD2 ….(iv)

From the equations (iii) and (iv) we get,

AC2−AD2=BC2−BD2 AC2−AD2=BC2−BD2 k2(BC2−BD2)=BC2−BD2 k2=1

Putting this value in equation (ii) , we obtain

AC = BC

∠A=∠B (Angles opposite to equal side are equal-isosceles triangle)

 

Q7) If  cot Ѳ = 7/8, evaluate :

(i) (1+sin Ѳ)(1-sin Ѳ) / (1+cos Ѳ)(1-cos Ѳ)

(ii) cot2Θ

Ans.) Let △ABC in which  ∠B=90∘

and ∠C=Θ

A/q,

cot Ѳ =BC/AB = 7/8

Let BC = 7k and AB = 8k, where k is a positive real number

According to Pythagoras theorem in △ABC we get.

 

AC2=AB2+BC2

 

AC2=(8k)2+(7k)2

 

AC2=64k2+49k2

 

AC2=113k2

 

AC=113−−−√k

 

sin Ѳ = AB/AC = 8k/113−−−√k=8/113−−−√

and cos Ѳ = BC/AC = 7k/113−−−√k=7/113−−−√

 

(i) (1+sin Ѳ)(1-sinѲ)/(1+cosѲ)(1-cos Ѳ) = (1−sin2Θ)/(1−cos2Θ)

= 1−(8/113−−−√)2/1−(7/113−−−√)2

= {1-(64/113)}/{1-(49/113)} = {(113-64)/113}/{(113-49)/113} = 49/64

 

(ii) cot2Θ=(7/8)2=49/64

 

Q8) If 3cot(A) = 4/3, check whether (1−tan2A)/(1+tan2A)=cos2A−sin2A or not.

Ans.) Let △ABC in which ∠B=90∘

A/q,

cot(A) = AB/BC = 4/3

Let AB = 4k an BC =3k, where k is a positive real number.

AC2=AB2+BC2

 

AC2=(4k)2+(3k)2

 

AC2=16k2+9k2

 

AC2=25k2

 

AC=5k

 

tan(A) = BC/AB = 3/4

sin(A) = BC/AC = 3/5

cos(A) = AB/AC = 4/5

L.H.S. = (1−tan2A)(1+tan2A)=1−(3/4)2/1+(3/4)2=(1−9/16)/(1+9/16)=(16−9)/(16+9)=7/25

R.H.S. =cos2A−sin2A=(4/5)2−(3/4)2=(16/25)−(9/25)=7/25

R.H.S. =L.H.S.

Hence, (1−tan2A)/(1+tan2A)=cos2A−sin2A

 

Q9) In triangle EFG, right-angled at F, if tan E =1/√3 find the value of:
(i) sin EcosG + cosE sin G
(ii) cosEcosG – sin E sin G

Answer

LetΔEFG in which ∠F=90∘, E/q

tanE=FCEF tanE=FCEF=13√

Where k is the positive real number of the problem

By Pythagoras theorem in ΔEFG we get:

EG2=EF2+FG2 EG2=(3k−−√2))+K2 EG2=3k2+K2 EG2=4k2 EG=2K

 

sinE = FG/EG = 1/2

cosE = EF/EG =  3√2  ,
sin G = EF/EG = 3√2 cosE = FG/EG = 1/2
(i) sin EcosG + cosE sin G = (1/2\ast1/2) + (3√2∗3√2)= 1/4+3/4 = 4/4 = 1
(ii) cosEcosG – sin E sin C = (3√2∗12)−(3√2∗12)= (3√4)−(3√4)= 0

 

Q10)In Δ MNO, right-angled at N, MO + NO = 25 cm and MN = 5 cm. Determine the values of sin M, cos M and tan M.

Answer

Given that, MO + NO = 25 , MN = 5
Let MO be x.  ∴ NO = 25 – x

By Pythagoras theorem ,
MO2=MN2+NO2
X2=52+(25−x)2
50x = 650
x = 13
∴ MO = 13 cm
NO = (25 – 13) cm = 12 cm

sinM = NO/MO = 12/13

cosM = MN/MO = 5/13

tanM = NO/MN = 12/5

 

Q11)  State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) The value of tan M is always less than 1.
(ii) secM = 12/5 for some value of angle M.
(iii) cosM is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle M.
(iv) cot M is the product of cot and M.
(v) sin θ = 4/3 for some angle θ.

Answer

(i) False.

In ΔMNC in which ∠N = 90∘,

MN = 3, NC = 4 and MC = 5

Value of tan M = 4/3 which is greater than.

The triangle can be formed with sides equal to 3, 4 and hypotenuse = 5 as

it will follow the Pythagoras theorem.

MC2=MN2+NC2
52=32+42
25 = 9 + 16
25 = 25

(ii) True.
Let a ΔMNC in which ∠N = 90º,MC be 12k and MB be 5k, where k is a positive real number.
By Pythagoras theorem we get,
MC2=MN2+NC2
(12k)2=(5k)2+NC2
NC2+25k2=144K2
NC2=119k2

Such a triangle is possible as it will follow the Pythagoras theorem.
(iii) False.

Abbreviation used for cosecant of angle M is cosec M.cosM is the abbreviation used for cosine of angle M.

(iv) False.

cotM is not the product of cot and M. It is the cotangent of ∠M.
(v) False.

sinΘ = Height/Hypotenuse

We know that in a right angled triangle, Hypotenuse is the longest side.

∴ sinΘwill always less than 1 and it can never be 4/3 for any value of Θ.

1−tan245∘1+tan230∘

= (1–12)(1+12)=02=0

 

(iii) (A) is correct

sin 2P = 2 sin P is true when

P = sin 2P = sin 0° = 0
2 sin P = 2sin 0° = 2×0 = 0

or,

sin 2P = 2sin PcosP

=>2sin PcosP = 2 sin P

=>2cos P = 2 =>cosP = 1

=>P = 0°

 

(iv) (C) is correct

2tan30∘1–tan230∘=2(13√1–(13√)2)

 

(23√)1–13=23√23=3–√=tan60∘

 

3) If tan (P + Q) = 3–√ and tan ( P – Q) = 13√;00<P+Q<=90∘;P>Q
, calculate P and Q

                Ans:-     tan (P + Q) = 3–√

=>tan (P + Q) = tan 60°

=> (P + Q) =  60°     … (i)

=>tan (P – Q) = 13√

=>tan (P – Q) = 30°

=> (P – Q) = 30°     … (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii), we get

P + Q + P – Q = 60° + 30°

2P = 90°

=> P = 45°

Putting the value of P in equation (i)

45° + Q = 60°

=> Q = 60° – 45° = 15°

Hence, P = 45° and Q = 15°

 

4) Check whether the given statements are true or false, also give a reason for your answer:

(i) sin (P + Q) = sin P + sin Q.

(ii) The value of sin θ increases as θ increases.

(iii) The value of cos θ increases as θ increases.

(iv) sin θ = cos θ for all values of θ.

(v) cotP is not defined for P = 0°.

Ans:-

(i) False

Let P = 30° and Q = 60°, then
sin (P + Q) = sin (30° + 60°) = sin 90° = 1 and,
sin P + sin Q = sin 30° + sin 60°

= 12+3√2=1+3√2

 

(ii) True

Sin 0° = 0

Sin 30° = 12

Sin 45° = 12√

Sin 60° = 3√2

Sin 90° = 1

Thus, the value of sinθ increases as θ increases

 

(iii) False

Cos 0° = 1

Cos 30° = 3√2

Cos 45° = 12√

Cos 60° = 12

Cos 90° = 0

Thus, the value of Cosθ decreases as θ increases.

 (i) tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67° = 1

(ii) cos 38° cos 52° – sin 38° sin 52° = 0

Ans:-

(i)tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67°
= tan (90° – 42°) tan (90° – 67°) tan 42° tan 67°
= cot 42° cot 67° tan 42° tan 67°
= (cot 42° tan 42°) (cot 67° tan 67°) = 1×1 = 1

(ii) cos 38° cos 52° – sin 38° sin 52°
= cos (90° – 52°) cos (90°-38°) – sin 38° sin 52°
= sin 52° sin 38° – sin 38° sin 52° = 0

 

3) We have 2P = cot ( P – 18 ° ), where 2P is an acute angle, calculate the value of P.

Ans:-     According to question,
tan 2P = cot (P- 18°)
=>cot (90° – 2P) = cot (P -18°)
Equating angles,
=>90° – 2P = P- 18°

=>108° = 3P
=> P = 36

 

4) If tan P = cot Q, prove that P + Q = 90°.

 AnswerAccording to question,

tanP = cot Q
=>tan P = tan (90° – Q)
=>P = 90° – Q
=>P + Q = 90°

 

5) If the value of sec 4P = cosec (P – 20°), in which 4P is an acute angle, find the value of P.

Ans:-According to question

sec 4P = cosec (P – 20°)

=> cosec (90° – 4P) = cosec (P – 20°)

Equating angles,
=> 90° – 4P= P- 20°
=> 110° = 5P
=> P = 22°

 

Q6) If X,Y and Z are interior angles of a triangle XYZ, then show that

    sin (Y+Z/2) = cos X2

Answer

In a triangle, sum of all the interior angles

X + Y + Z = 180∘

⇒ Y + Z = 180∘ – X

⇒ Y+Z2 = (180∘−X)2

⇒ Y+Z2 = (90∘−X2)

⇒ sin (Y+Z2) = sin (90∘−X2)

⇒ sin (Y+Z2) = cosX2

 

Q7) Express sin 67∘ + cos 75∘ in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0∘ and 45∘.

= cos 23∘ + sin 15∘

 

Excercise 8.4

 

Q1) Express the trigonometric ratios sin A, sec A and tan A in terms of cot A.

Answer

cosec2A−cot2A=1
⇒ cosec2A = 1 + cot2A
⇒ 1sin2A = 1 + cot2A
⇒ sin2A = 1/(1+cot2A)
⇒ sin A= ±11+cot2A√
Now,
sin2A=11+cot2A
⇒1−cos2A=11+cot2A
⇒ cos2A = 1−11+cot2A
⇒cos2A = (1−1+cot2A)(1+cot2A)
⇒1sec2A = (cot2A)(1+cotA)
⇒secA = (1+cotA)(cot2A)

 

⇒secA=±1+cot2A√cotA

 

also,
tan A = sinAcosAand cot A = cosAsinA

⇒ tan A = 1cotA

 

Q2) Write all the other trigonometric ratios of ∠A in terms of sec A.

Answer

We know that,
sec A = 1cosA
⇒cos A = 1secA
also,
cos2A + sin2A = 1
⇒  sin2A = 1 – cos2A
⇒  sin2A = 1 – (1sec2A)
⇒  sin2A = (sec2A−1)sec2A

⇒  sin A=±sec2A−1√secA

also,
sin A = 1cosecA
⇒ cosec A = 1sinA

⇒cosec A=±secAsec2A−1√
Now,
sec2A – tan2A = 1
⇒ tan2A = sec2A + 1

⇒ tan A=sec2A+1−−−−−−−−√
also,
tan A = 1cotA
⇒ cot A = 1tanA

⇒  cot A=±1sec2A+1√

(i) (B) is correct.

9 sec2A– 9 tan2A

= 9 (sec2A– tan2A                 )
= 9×1 = 9             ( because  sec2A– tan2A = 1)

 

(ii) (C) is correct

(1 + tan θ + sec θ) (1 + cot θ – cosec θ)

= (1 + sin θ/cos θ + 1/cos θ) (1 + cos θ/sin θ – 1/sin θ)

= (cosθ+sin θ+1)/cos θ × (sin θ+cos θ-1)/sin θ

= (cosθ+sin θ)2-12/(cos θ sin θ)

= (cos2θ + sin2θ + 2cos θ sin θ -1)/(cos θ sin θ)

= (1+ 2cos θ sin θ -1)/(cos θ sin θ)

(x) (1+tan2A/1+cot2A) = (1-tan A/1-cot A)2 = tan2A

Answer

(i) (cosecΘ−cotΘ)2 = (1-cos θ)/(1+cos θ)
L.H.S. =  (cosecΘ−cotΘ)2

=(cosec2Θ+cot2Θ−2cosecΘcotΘ)

=(1sin2Θ+cos2Θsin2Θ−2cosΘsin2Θ)

= (1 + cos2Θ – 2cos θ)/(1 – cos2Θ)
= (1−cosΘ)2 /(1 – cosθ)(1+cos θ)
= (1-cos θ)/(1+cos θ) = R.H.S.

 

(ii)  cos A/(1+sin A) + (1+sin A)/cos A = 2 sec A
L.H.S. = cos A/(1+sin A) + (1+sin A)/cos A
= [cos2A +(1+sinA)2]/(1+sin A)cos A
= (cos2A + sin2A + 1 + 2sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A
= (1 + 1 + 2sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A
= (2+ 2sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A
= 2(1+sin A)/(1+sin A)cos A
= 2/cos A = 2 sec A = R.H.S.

 

(iii) tan θ/(1-cot θ) + cot θ/(1-tan θ) = 1 + sec θ cosec θ
L.H.S. = tan θ/(1-cot θ) + cot θ/(1-tan θ)
= [(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)/(cosθ-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)]
= 1/(sin θ-cos θ) [(sin2Θ /cos θ) – (cos2Θ /sin θ)]
= 1/(sin θ-cos θ) × [(sin3Θ – cos3Θ)/sin θ cos θ]
= [(sin θ-cos θ)(sin2Θ +cos2Θ +sin θ cos θ)]/[(sin θ-cos θ)sin θ cos θ]
= (1 + sin θ cos θ)/sin θ cos θ)
= 1/sin θ cos θ + 1
= 1 + sec θ cosec θ = R.H.S.

 

(iv)  (1 + sec A)/sec A = sin2Θ /(1-cos A)
L.H.S. = (1 + sec A)/sec A
= (1 + 1/cos A)/1/cos A
= (cos A + 1)/cos A/1/cos A
= cos A + 1
R.H.S. = sin2Θ /(1-cos A)
= (1 –cos2Θ)/(1-cos A)
= (1-cos A)(1+cos A)/(1-cos A)
= cos A + 1
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

 

(v) (cos A–sin A+1)/(cosA+sin A–1) = cosec A + cot A,using the identity cosec2A = 1+cot2A.
L.H.S. = (cos A–sin A+1)/(cosA+sin A–1)
Dividing Numerator and Denominator by sin A,
= (cos A–sin A+1)/sin A/(cosA+sin A–1)/sin A
= (cot A – 1 + cosec A)/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A)
= (cot A – cosec2A + cot2A + cosec A)/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A) (using cosec2A – cot2A = 1)
= [(cot A + cosec A) – (cosec2A – cot2A)]/(cot A+ 1 – cosec A)
= [(cot A + cosec A) – (cosec A + cot A)(cosec A – cot A)]/(1 – cosec A + cot A)
=  (cot A + cosec A)(1 – cosec A + cot A)/(1 – cosec A + cot A)
=  cot A + cosec A = R.H.S.

 

(vi)1+sinA1−sinA−−−−−√=secA+tanA

Dividing Numerator and Denominator of L.H.S. by cos A,

= 1cosA+sinAcosA√1cosA−sinAcosA√

 

= secA+tanA√secA−tanA√

 

= secA+tanA√secA−tanA√XsecA+tanA√secA+tanA√

 

=(secA+tanA)2√sec2A−tan2A√

 

=secA+tanA1

= sec A + tan A = R.H.S.

 

(vii) (sin θ – 2sin3Θ)/(2cos3Θ -cos θ) = tan θ
L.H.S. = (sin θ – 2sin3Θ)/(2cos3Θ – cos θ)
= [sin θ(1 – 2sin2Θ)]/[cos θ(2cos2Θ – 1)]
= sin θ[1 – 2(1-cos2Θ)]/[cosθ(2cos2Θ-1)]
= [sin θ(2cos2Θ -1)]/[cos θ(2cos2Θ -1)]
= tan θ = R.H.S.

 

(viii) (sinA+cosecA)2 + (cosA+secA)2 = 7+tan2A +cot2A
L.H.S. =  (sinA+cosecA)2 + (cosA+secA)2
               = (sin2A + cosec2A + 2 sin A cosec A) + (tcos2A + sec2A + 2 cos A sec A)
= (sin2A + cos2A) + 2 sin A(1/sin A) + 2 cos A(1/cos A) + 1 + tan2A + 1 + cot2A
= 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + tan2A + cot2A
= 7+tan2A+cot2A = R.H.S.

 

(ix) (cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A) = 1/(tan A+cotA)
L.H.S. = (cosec A – sin A)(sec A – cos A)
= (1/sin A – sin A)(1/cos A – cos A)
= [(1-sin2A)/sin A][(1-cos2A)/cos A]
= (cos2A/sin A)×(sin2A/cos A)
= cos A sin A
R.H.S. = 1/(tan A+cotA)
= 1/(sin A/cos A +cos A/sin A)
= 1/[(sin2A+cos2A)/sin A cos A]
= cos A sin A
L.H.S. = R.H.S.

 

(x)  (1+tan2A/1+cot2A) = (1−tanA1−cotA)2 =tan2A
L.H.S. = (1+tan2A/1+cot2A)
= (1+tan2A/1+1/tan2A)
= 1+tan2A/[(1+tan2A)/tan2A]
= tan2A
