If
, prove that q sin θ = p.
Given : q cos θ = √(q2 – p2)


We know that,
![]()
Or ![]()

Let,
Base =BC = √(q2 – p2)
Hypotenuse =AC = q
Where, k ia any positive integer
So, by Pythagoras theorem, we can find the third side of a triangle
⇒ (AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2
⇒ (AB)2 + (√(q2 – p2))2 = (q)2
⇒ (AB)2 + (q2 – p2) = q2
⇒ (AB)2 = q2 – q2 + p2)
⇒ (AB)2 = p2
⇒ AB =√p2
⇒ AB =±p
But side AB can’t be negative. So, AB = p
Now, we have to find sin θ
We know that,
![]()
The side opposite to angle θ = AB =p
And Hypotenuse = AC =q
So, ![]()
Now, LHS = q sin θ
![]()
= q = RHS
Hence Proved
