Q1 of 21 Page 113

Choose the correct alternative answer for following multiple choice questions.

Which of the following statements is true?

Let us consider the given triangle,


In this Δ PMN,


For θ,


Opposite side = PM


Adjacent side= PN


For (90 –θ)


Opposite side = MN


Adjacent side = PM


sinθ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse


= PM/PN …………………… (i)


cos (90-θ) = Adjacent/Hypotenuse


= PM/PN ……………………. (ii)


RHS of equation (i) and (ii) are equal


sinθ = cos (90-θ)


So Option A is correct.
