Q10 of 268 Page 4

If then find the values of cos θ and sin θ.



We know that,



Or



Let,


The side opposite to angle θ =AB = 3k


The side adjacent to angle θ =BC = 4k


where k is any positive integer


Firstly we have to find the value of AC.


So, we can find the value of AC with the help of Pythagoras theorem


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


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


(AC)2 = 9 k2+16 k2


(AC)2 = 25 k2


AC =25 k2


AC =±5k


But side AC can’t be negative. So, AC = 5k


Now, we will find the sin θ and cos θ



Side opposite to angle θ = AB = 3k


and Hypotenuse = AC = 5k


So,


Now, We know that



Side adjacent to angle θ = BC = 4k


and Hypotenuse = AC = 5k


So,
