Q25 of 180 Page 3

If sin A=, then the value of cot A is

OR


If cos 9 =sin and 9 <900, then the value of tan 5 is


Given: … eq. 1


And we know that, …eq. 2


We need to find the value of cos A.


…eq. 3


(, sin2 θ +cos2 θ =1


cos2 A = 1-sin2 A


cos A = √ (1-sin2 A)


Substituting eq. 1 in eq. 3, we get


cos A = √(1-1/4)


=


Substituting values of sin A and cos A in eq. 2, we get



OR


Given: cos 9 = sin and 9<90° i.e. 9α is an acute angle


And we know that, sin(90°-θ) = cos θ by property.


So, we can write cosine in terms of sine using this property,


cos 9 = sin (90°-)


Thus, sin (90°-9) = sin (cos 9 = sin(90°-9) & sin(90°-) = sin )


90°-9 =


10 = 90° (By rearranging)


= 9°


We have got the value of i.e. = 9°


Putting it in tan 5, we get


tan 5 = tan (5.9) = tan 45° = 1


, tan 5 = 1
