Exercise 8.1
Question 1.

In Fig. 8.13, find tan P – cot R.



Answer:

Applying Pythagoras theorem for ΔPQR, we obtain

Pythagoras Theorem : the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

PR2 = PQ2 + QR2


(13)2 = (12)2 + QR2


169 cm2 = 144 cm2 + QR2


25 cm2 = QR2


QR = 5 cm



tan P =


=



cot R =


=


tan P - cot R =


= 0
tan P - cot R = 0


Question 2.

If sin calculate Cos A and tan A


Answer:

Let ΔABC be a right-angled triangle, right-angled at point B

Given that:

As we know trigonometrical ratios give ratio between sides of right angled triangle instead of their actual values. So from sin A we get the ratio of Perpendicular and Hypotenuse of the triangle. Now as we don't know the exact value let Perpendicular = 3 k and Hypotenuse = 4 k

According to Pythagoras theorem: (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

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


16k2 - 9k2 = AB2


7k2 = AB2



Cos A =


= =

And we know that


Tan A =


= =

So the ratios are cos A = √7/4 and tan A = 3/√7

Question 3.

Given 15 cot A = 8, find sin A and sec A


Answer:

Consider a right-angled triangle, right-angled at B


Given: 15 cot A = 8
To find: sin A and sec A



Cot A =

It is given that,

Cot A =


Let AB be 8k. Therefore, BC will be 15k, where k is a positive integer.

Pythagoras Theorem: It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain

AC2 = AB2 + BC2


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


= 64k2 + 225k2


= 289k2


AC = 17k

Now we know that,


Sin A =


=

And also,


Sec A =


=


Question 4.

Given sec calculate all other trigonometric ratios


Answer:

Consider a right-angle triangle ΔABC, right-angled at point B



sec =


=


If AC is 13k, AB will be 12k, where k is a positive integer.

Now according to Pythagoras theorem,

The square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain


(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2


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


169 k2 = 144 k2 + BC2


25 k2 = BC2


BC = 5 k




Sin =


= =



Cos θ =


= =



Tan θ =


= =



Cot θ =


= =



Cosec θ =


= =


Question 5.

If ∠ A and ∠ B are acute angles such that Cos A = Cos B, then show that ∠A = ∠B


Answer:
To Prove: ∠ A = ∠ B
Given: cos A = cos B
Let there be a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at C.
Now we know that the side opposite to the angle of which we are taking trigonometric ratio is perpendicular, side opposite to right angle is hypotenuse and the side left is base.
So, now let cos of A and B
We know that,

Since for angle A, BC is perpendicular and AC is the base.
Now,

Since for angle B, BC is base and AC is perpendicular.
Given: cos A = cos B
Therefore,
AC = BC
Now, the angles opposite to the equal sides are also equal.
Therefore, ∠A = ∠B
Hence, Proved.

Question 6.

If evaluate:

(i)

(ii)


Answer:

Let us consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B

Given:


As, a trigonometric Ratio shows the ratio between different sides, cot also shows the ratio of Base and Perpendicular. As we don't know the absolute value of Base and Perpendicular, let the base and perpendicular be multiplied by a common term, let it be k
Therefore,
Base = 7 k
Perpendicular = 8k
According to pythagoras theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Perpendicular)2

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain


AC2 = AB2 + BC2


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


= 64k2 + 49k2


= 113k2


AC = √113 k

Now we have all the three sides of the triangle,
Base = 7 k
Perpendicular = 8 k
Hypotenuse = √113 k
Now applying other trigonometric angle formulas

Sin =


=


=



Cos θ =


=


=


(i)
Putting the obtained trigonometric ratios into the expression we get,
= (1 – sin2 θ)/(1 – cos2 θ)



= 49/64


(ii) Cot2 θ = (cot θ)2



Question 7.

If 3 cot A = 4, check whether or not


Answer:

It is given that 3 cot A = 4


Consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B



To Find : Cos2A – Sin2A or not



Cot A =


=


This fraction shows that if the length of base will be 4 then the altitude will be 3. And base and altitude will both increase with this propotion only. Let AB be 4k then BC will be 3k


In ΔABC,
Pythagoras theorem : It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
By pythagoras theorem


(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2


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


= 16k2 + 9k2


= 25k2


AC = 5k

Now,

Cos A =


=


=


And also we know that,

Sin A =


=


=

And ,

Tan A =


=


=

Now putting the values so obtained we get,


= 7/25

Cos2A – Sin2A =


=


=


Therefore,


Cos2A – Sin2A
Hence, the expression is correct.


Question 8.

In triangle ABC, right-angled at B, if find the value of:

(i) Sin A Cos C + Cos A Sin C

(ii) Cos A Cos C – Sin A Sin C


Answer:


For finding value of sin A cos C + cos A sin C , we need to find values of sin A, cos C, cos A, sin C

tan A = =

If BC is k, then AB will be, where k is a positive integer

In ΔABC,

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

= ()2 + (k)2

= 3k2 + k2 = 4k2

AC = 2k
For finding the perpendicular and base for an angle of a right angled triangle, always take the side opposite to the angle as perpendicular and the other side as base

We know that,

Now, for angle A, Perpendicular will be side opposite to angle A that is BC and Hypotenuse will be AC

Sin A =


= =


And also by cosine formula,

For angle A, base will be AB and hypotenuse will be AC

Cos A =


= =



For angle C, Perpendicular will be AB and hypotenuse will be AC

Sin C =


= =



For angle C, base will be equal to BC and hypotenuse equal to AC

Cos C =


= =


(i) sin A cos C + cos A sin C


=


=


=


(ii) cos A cos C - sin A sin C


= () () – () ()


=


= 0


Question 9.

In Δ PQR, right-angled at Q, PR + QR = 25 cm and PQ = 5 cm. Determine the values of Sin P, Cos P and tan P.


Answer:

Given that, PR + QR = 25

PQ = 5


Let PR be x


Therefore,


QR = 25 - x



Pythagoras Theorem: the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR, we obtain


PR2 = PQ2 + QR2


x2 = (5)2 + (25 - x)2


x2 = 25 + 625 + x2 - 50x [as, (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab]


50x = 650


x = 13


Therefore,


PR = 13 cm


QR = (25 - 13) cm = 12 cm

and we know,

sin P =


cos P =


tan P =


Question 10.

State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.

(i) The value of tan A is always less than 1

(ii) Secfor some value of angle A

(iii) Cos A is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A

(iv) Cot A is the product of cot and A.

(v) for some angle θ


Answer:

(i) Consider a ΔABC, right-angled at B


Tan A =


But > 1


Tan A > 1


So, Tan A < 1 is not always true


Hence, the given statement is false


(ii) Sec A =




Let AC be 12k, AB will be 5k, where k is a positive integer


Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain


AC2 = AB2 + BC2


(12k)2 = (5k)2 + BC2


144k2 = 25k2 + BC2


BC2 = 119k2


BC = 10.9k


It can be observed that for given two sides AC = 12k and AB = 5k,


BC should be such that,


AC - AB < BC < AC + AB


12k - 5k < BC < 12k + 5k


7k < BC < 17 k


However, BC = 10.9k. Clearly, such a triangle is possible and hence, such value of sec A is possible


Hence, the given statement is true


(iii) Abbreviation used for cosecant of angle A is cosec A. And Cos A is the abbreviation used for cosine of angle A


Hence, the given statement is false


(iv) Cot A is not the product of cot and A. It is the cotangent of ∠A


Hence, the given statement is false


(v) sin θ =


In a right-angled triangle, hypotenuse is always greater than the remaining two sides. Therefore, such value of sin θ is not possible


Hence, the given statement is false

Answer:

(i) We know that,


Putting values in given equation,

[Since, √3 × √3 = 3]

in options we have,

sin 60° = √3/2

cos 60° = ½

tan 60° = √3

sin 30° = ½


Only (A) is correct.


Question 3.

Choose the correct option and justify your choice:


A. tan 90°

B. 1

C. sin 45°

D. 0


Answer:

Sin 2A = 2 sin A is true when A =
A. 0°

B. 30°

C. 45°

D. 60°


Answer:

Out of the given alternatives, only A = 0° is correct


As


sin 2A = sin 0° = 0


2 sin A = 2sin 0° = 2(0) = 0


Hence, (A) is correct


Question 5.

Choose the correct option and justify your choice:


A. Cos 60°

B. sin 60°

C. tan 60°

D. sin 30°


Answer:










Now according to options,


Out of the given alternatives, only tan 60° =


Hence, (C) is correct


Question 6.

If and find A and B


Answer:

Now, we know that



So, from the question we can tell,

tan (A + B) =

tan (A + B) = tan 60o


A + B = 60° .......eq (i)


And

tan (A – B) =


tan (A - B) = tan 30°


A - B = 30 ...........eq(ii)


On adding both equations, we obtain


2 A = 90°


⇒ A = 45


From equation (i), we obtain


45 + B = 60


B = 15o


Therefore, ∠A = 45° and ∠B = 15°


Question 7.

State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer

(i) Sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B

(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) Cot A is not defined for A = 0°


Answer:

(i) sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B

Let A = 30° and B = 60°

sin (A + B) = sin (30° + 60°) = sin 90°

= 1

sin A + sin B = sin 30° + sin 60°

=

=

Clearly, sin (A + B) ≠sin A + sin B


Hence, the given statement is false


(ii) The value of sin θ increases as θ increases in the interval of 0° < θ < 90° as sin 0° = 0

sin 30o =

sin 45o = = 0.707

sin 60o = = 0.886

sin 90° = 1

Clearly the value increases.

Hence, the given statement is true


(iii) cos 0° = 1

cos 30o =

cos 45o =

cos 60o =

cos 90° = 0


It can be observed that the value of cos θ does not increase in the interval of 0° < θ < 90°


Hence, the given statement is false


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

This is true when θ = 45°

As,

sin 45o =

cos 45o =


It is not true for all other values of θ


As sin 30o = and cos 30o =


Hence, the given statement is false


(v) cot A is not defined for A = 0°


cot A =


cot 0o =


= =undefined


Hence, the given statement is true



Exercise 8.3
Question 1.

Evaluate:

(i)

(ii)

(iii) Cos 48° – sin 42°

(iv) Cosec 31° – sec 59°


Answer:



(i)
(18o = 90o- 72o)



= 1


(ii)





(iii) cos 48o - sin 42o


= cos (90o - 42o) – sin 42o


= sin 42o - sin 42o


= 0


(iv) cosec 31o - sec 59o


= cosec(90o - 59o) – sec 59o


= sec 59o - sec 59o


= 0


Question 2.

Show that:
(i) tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67° = 1
(ii) cos 38° Cos 52° – sin 38° sin 52° = 0


Answer:

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

LHS: tan 48o tan 23o tan 42o tan 67o

= tan (90o - 42o) tan 23o tan 42o tan (90o - 23o)
As tan(90 - θ) = cot θ

= cot 42o tan 23o tan 42o cot 23o

= cot 42o tan 42o tan 23o cot 23o
As, tanθ cotθ = 1, because

= 1 x 1

= 1 = RHS

Hence tan 48o tan 23o tan 42o tan 67o = 1, Proved

(ii) cos 38o cos 52o - sin 38o sin 52o = 0

LHS= cos(90o - 52o) cos(90o - 38o) - sin 38o sin 52o

As we know,
cos(90 - θ) = sin θ
= sin 38o sin 52o - sin 38o sin 52o


= 0
=RHS

Hence cos 38o cos 52o - sin 38o sin 52o = 0 , proved


Question 3.

If tan 2A = cot (A – 18°), where 2A is an acute angle, find the value of A.


Answer:

Given: tan 2A = cot(A - 18)
By complementary angle formula:
cot(90 - A) = tan A
From the question,
tan 2 A = cot (90 - 2A)
Therefore,
cot(90 - 2A) = cot(A - 18)
Now both the angles will be equal, so

90° – 2A = A – 18°

108° – 2A = A

3A = 108°

A = 108/3
= 36°
A = 36°


Question 4.

If tan A = cot B, prove that A + B = 90°


Answer:

To Prove: A + B = 90°
Formula to use = [tan (90° - A) = cot A] and [cot(90° - A) = tan A]
Proof:
tan A = cot (90°- A) (by complementary angles formula)
tan A = cot B

cot (90°- A) = cot B [ As, cot(90° - A) = tan A]
Therefore,

90° - A = B

A + B = 90°

Hence proved


Question 5.

If sec 4A = cosec (A – 20°), where 4A is an acute angle, find the value of A


Answer:

sec 4A = cosec (90° - 4A) = cosec (A - 20°)

Therefore,


90° – 4A = A - 20°


110°– 4A = A


5A = 110°


A = 22°



Question 6.

If A, B and C are interior angles of a triangle ABC, then show that



Answer:

To Prove:

Proof:
We know, By angle sum property of a triangle

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

⇒ B + C = 180°- A

Taking sin on both sides of equation

Therefore,


As, sin(90 - θ) = cos θ
Therefore,

Hence proved


Question 7.

Express sin 67° + Cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°


Answer:

sin 67° + cos 75°

For expressing this into between 0° and 45° we need to know complementary angle formulas:

sin(90° - A) = cos A

cos(90° - A) = sin A

Hence,

Now we can break 67° as 90° – 23 °.

And 75° as 90° – 15°.

So,

sin 67° + cos 75° = sin (90° – 23°) + cos (90° – 15°)

sin 67° + cos 75° = cos 23° + sin 15°

(Since, sin(90°- A) = cos A)



Exercise 8.4
Question 1.

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


Answer:

sin A can be expressed in terms of cot A as:


And we know that: cosec2 A - cot2 A = 1, cosec2A=1+cot2A , so cosec A=√(1+cot2A)
Therefore,

Now,

Sec A can be expressed in terms of cot A as:
We know that: sec2 A - tan2 A = 1, sec A = √(1 + tan2 A)
And also, tan A = 1/ cot A
Therefore,

tanA can be expressed in terms of cotA as:

tanA =


Question 2.

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


Answer:

SinA can be expressed in terms of sec A as:

sinA = √sin2A

sin A = √(1 -cos2A)


Now,

cos A can be expressed in terms of secA as:

cosA =

tanA can be expressed in the form of sec A as:
As, 1 + tan2A = sec2A

⇒ tan A =± √(sec2A -1)
As A is acute angle,
And tan A is positive when A is acute,
So,
tan A = √(sec2A -1)
cosec A can be expressed in the form of sec A as:

cosec A =

cot A can be expressed in terms of sec A as:

cot A =
as, 1 + tan2A = sec2A
=


Question 3.

Answer:

(i)

(ii) sin 25°cos 65°+ cos 25°sin 65°

= sin 25° cos (90°-25°) + cos 25°sin 65°
= sin 25°sin 25° + cos 25°sin 65°
= sin2 25° + cos 25° sin (90°-25°)

= sin2 25° + cos2 25°

LHS

Dividing Numerator and Denominator by sin A


Use the formula cotθ = cosθ / sinθ

Using the identity


Use the formula a2 - b2 = (a - b) ( a + b )



= cot A + cosec A

= RHS

(vi)

Dividing numerator and denominator of LHS by cos A

As cosθ = 1/secθ and tanθ = sinθ /cosθ

Rationalize the square root to get,

Use the formula a2 - b2 = (a - b) ( a + b ) to get,


Use the identity sec2θ = 1 + tan2θ to get,

To Prove:


Proof:
LHS


Since



As tanθ = sinθ/cosθ
= tanθ
= R.H.S
Hence, Proved.
(viii)
To Prove:

Proof:
LHS = (sin A + cosec A)2 + (cos A + sec A)2

Use the formula (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab to get,

= (sin2A + cosec2A + 2sin A cosec A) + (cos2A + sec2A + 2 cos A sec A)
Since sinθ=1/cosecθ and cosθ = 1/secθ

= sin2A + cosec2A + 2 + cos2A + sec2A + 2
=(sin2A + cos2A)+cosec2A+sec2A+2+2
Use the identities sin2A + cos2A = 1, sec2A = 1 + tan2A and cosec2A = 1 + cot2A to get

= 1+ 1 + tan2A + 1 + cot2A + 2 + 2

= 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + tan2A + cot2A

= 7 + tan2A + cot2A

= RHS

(ix)
To Prove:

[Hint: Simplify LHS and RHS separately]


Proof:
LHS = (cosec A – sin A) (sec A – cos A)
Use the formula sinθ = 1/cosecθ and cosθ = 1/secθ



= cos A sin A

RHS

use the formula tanθ=sinθ/cosθ and cotθ=cosθ/sinθ



Use the identity sin2A + cos2A = 1

= cos A sin A

LHS = RHS

(x)
To Prove:

Proof:
Taking left most term
Since, cot A is the reciprocal of tan A, we have

= right most part
Taking middle part:

= right most part

Hence, Proved.



Testing
Question 1.

Draw the graph of 2x – 3y = 4. From the graph, find whether x = -1, y = -2 is a solution or not. (Final)


Answer:

Given equation, 2x – 3y = 4


⇒ 3y = 2x-4



When x=-4, then,






⇒ y = -4


When x=-1, then,






⇒ y = -2


When x=2, then,





⇒ y = 0


When x=5, then,






⇒ y = 2


Thus we have the following table,


















X



-4



-1



2



5



Y



-4



-2



0



2



On plotting these points we have the following graph,



Clearly, from the graph (-1, -2) is the solution of the line 2x – 3y = 4
