Q1: Define the six trigonometric ratios for a right triangle. State the trigonometric values for the standard angles 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°.
Trigonometric Ratios (for a right triangle with reference angle θ):
Let a right triangle have:
- Opposite side (opposite to angle θ) = opposite
- Adjacent side (adjacent to angle θ) = adjacent
- Hypotenuse = hypotenuse
The six ratios are:
1. sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
2. cos θ = adjacent / hypo...
Q2: In a right triangle ABC with right angle at B, AB = 5 cm and AC = 13 cm. Find all six trigonometric ratios of angle A.
Given:
Right triangle ABC with ∠B = 90°
AB = 5 cm (side adjacent to angle A)
AC = 13 cm (hypotenuse)
Find: All six trigonometric ratios of angle A
Step 1: Find BC (the side opposite to angle A) using Pythagorean theorem.
AC² = AB² + BC²
13² = 5² + BC²
169 = 25 + BC²
BC² = 144
BC = 12 cm
Step 2: I...
Q3: Prove the identity: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
Prove: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1
Proof:
Consider a right triangle with:
- Angle θ at one vertex
- Opposite side = a
- Adjacent side = b
- Hypotenuse = c
Step 1: Write the definitions of sin θ and cos θ.
sin θ = a/c
cos θ = b/c
Step 2: Square both ratios.
sin²θ = a²/c²
cos²θ = b²/c²
Step 3: Add the squar...
