Verify the following equalities.
(i) sin230° + cos230° = 1
(ii) 1 + tan245° = sec245°
(iii) cos 60° = 1 – 2sin2 30° = 2cos2 30° – 1
(iv) cos 90° = 1 – 2 sin2 45° = 2cos2 45° – 1
(v) 
(vi) 
(vii) 
(viii) tan260° – 2tan245° – cot230° + 2sin2 
(ix) 4cot245° – sec260° + sin2 60° = 1
(x) sin30° cos60° + cos30° sin60° = sin 90°

(i) We know sin 30° = (1/2) and cos 30° = (√3/2) (From the table)
Putting the values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 1
Which is equal to the right hand side.
Hence verified.
(ii) We know tan 45° = 1 and sec 45° = √2 (From the table)
Putting the values in the left hand side:
⇒ 1 + (1)2
⇒ 1 + 1
⇒ 2
Putting the values in the right hand side:
⇒ (√2)2
⇒ 2
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence verified.
(iii) We know sin 30° = cos 60° = (1/2) and cos 30° = (√3/2) (From the table)
So the leftmost function = cos60° = (1/2)
Putting values in the middle function:
⇒ 1 – 2× ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 1/2
Putting values in the rightmost function:
⇒ 2× ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 1/2
Therefore, all simplify to 1/2 and are equal.
Hence verified.
(iv) We know sin 45° = cos 45° = (1/√ 2) and cos 90° = 0 (From the table)
So the leftmost function = cos90° = 0
Putting values in the middle function:
⇒ 1 – 2× ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 0
Putting values in the rightmost function:
⇒ 2× ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 0
Therefore, all simplify to 0 and are equal.
Hence verified.
(v) We know sin 60° = (√3/2) (From the table)
cos 60° = (1/2)
tan 60° = √3
and sec 30° = 2
Putting values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
Putting values in the right hand side:
⇒ ![]()
Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.
Hence verified.
(vi) We know cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)
tan 60° = √3
Putting values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
Putting values in the right hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.
Hence verified.
(vii) We know sec 60° = (2/√3) (From the table)
tan 30° = (1/√3)
sin 30° = (1/2)
Putting values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 3
Putting values in the right hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 3
Therefore, left hand side and right hand side are equal.
Hence verified.
(viii) We know sin 30° = (1/2) (From the table)
cot 30° = √3
cosec 45° = √2
tan 60° = √3
and tan 45° = 1
Putting the values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 0
Which is equal to the right hand side.
Hence verified.
(ix) We know cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)
sin 60° = (√3/2)
sec 60° = 2
and cot 45° = 1
Putting the values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 1
Which is equal to the right hand side.
Hence verified.
(x) We know sin 30° = cos 60° = (1/2) (From the table)
Cos 30° = sin 60° = (√3/2)
Sin 90° = 1
So the right hand side = sin 90° = 1
Putting the values in the left hand side:
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ 1
Which is equal to the right hand side.
Hence verified.
