Q24 of 268 Page 4

If then find the values of sin A + cos A.



We know that,



Or


Given:




Let,


Side opposite to angle A =BC = k√3


Side adjacent to angle A =AB = 2k


where, k is any positive integer


Firstly we have to find the value of BC.


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


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


(2k)2 + (√3k)2 = (AC)2


(AC)2 = 4 k2 +3 k2


(AC)2 = 7 k2


AC =7 k2


AC =k7


So, AC = k√7


Now, we will find the sin A and cos A



Side opposite to angle A = BC = k√3


and Hypotenuse = AC = k√7


So,


Now, we know that,



Side adjacent to angle A = AB =2k


Hypotenuse = AC = k√7


So,


Now, we have to find sin A +cos A


Putting values of sin A and cos A, we get
