Write the value of sin A cos (90° − A) + cos A sin (90° − A).
To find: sin A cos (90° − A) + cos A sin (90° − A)
∵ cos (90° – A) = sin A and sin (90° – A) = cos A ……………(i)
∴ sin A cos (90° − A) + cos A sin (90° − A)
= sin A sin A + cos A cos A [Using (i)]
= sin2 A + cos2 A
Now, ∵ sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
∴ sin A cos (90° − A) + cos A sin (90° − A)
= sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
