= (576 + 49) cm2

= 625 cm2

∴ AC = cm = 25 cm

2. In the given figure find tan P − cot R 

Ans: Applying Pythagoras theorem for ∆PQR, we obtain

PR2 = PQ2 + QR2

(13 cm)2 = (12 cm)2 + QR2

169 cm2 = 144 cm2 + QR2

25 cm2 = QR2

QR = 5 cm

3. If sin A = 3/4 calculate cos A and tan A.

Ans: 

4. Given 15 cot A = 8. Find sin A and sec A

Ans; Consider a right-angled triangle, right-angled at B.  

5. Given sec θ = ,13/12 calculate all other trigonometric ratios.

Ans:  

If AC is 13k, AB will be 12k, where k is a positive integer.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆ABC, we obtain

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

(13k)2 = (12k)2 + (BC)2

169k2 = 144k2 + BC2

25k2 = BC2

BC = 5k 

6. If ∠A and ∠B are acute angles such that cos A = cos B, then show that ∠A = ∠B.

Ans: Let us consider a triangle ABC in which CD ⊥ AB. 

It is given that cos A = cos B

AB/AC = BD/BC …………………. (1)

We have to prove ∠A = ∠B. To prove this, let us extend AC to P such that BC = CP.

7.  If cot θ = ⅞  evaluate 

Ans: Let us consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B.

If BC is 7k, then AB will be 8k, where k is a positive integer. Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆ABC, we obtain  

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

= (8k)2 + (7k)2

= 64k2 + 49k2

= 113k2 

Ans: Do yourself 

8.

Ans:  If 3 cot A = 4, Check whether Answer 8:

 It is given that 3 cot = ¾   A = 4 Or, cot A = Consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B. 

If AB is 4k, then BC will be 3k, where k is a positive integer.

In ∆ABC,

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

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

= 16k2 + 9k2

= 25k2

AC = 5k 

10: In ∆PQR, right angled at Q, PR + QR = 25 cm and PQ = 5 cm. Determine the values of sin P, cos P and tan P.

Ans: Given that, PR + QR = 25

 PQ = 5 

Let PR be x. 

Therefore, QR = 25 − x

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆PQR, we obtain

PR2 = PQ2 + QR2

x2 = (5)2 + (25 − x)2

x2 = 25 + 625 + x2 − 50x

50x = 650

x = 13

Therefore, PR = 13 cm

QR = (25 − 13) cm = 12 cm

11: State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.

(i) The value of tan A is always less than 1.

Ans: (i) Consider a ∆ABC, right-angled at B.

So, tan A < 1 is not always true.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Let AC be 12k, AB will be 5k, where k is a positive integer.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ∆ABC, we obtain

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

(12k)2 = (5k)2 + BC2

144k2 = 25k2 + BC2

BC2 = 119k2.         

BC = 10.9k

It can be observed that for given two sides AC = 12k and AB = 5k,

BC should be such that,

AC − AB < BC < AC + AB

12k − 5k < BC < 12k + 5k

7k < BC < 17 k

However, BC = 10.9k. Clearly, such a triangle is possible and hence, such value of sec A is possible.

Hence, the given statement is true. 

(iii) cos A is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A.

Ans: The abbreviation used for cosecant of angle A is cosec A. And cos A is the

abbreviation used for the cosine of angle A.

Hence, the given statement is false. 

(iv) cot A is the product of cot and A

Ans:  cot A is not the product of cot and A. It is the cotangent of ∠A. Hence, the given statement is false.

(v) sin θ = 3/4, for some angle θ

Ans:  sin θ = ¾   We know that in a right-angled triangle,

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is always greater than the remaining two sides.

Therefore, such a value of sin θ is not possible.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Exercise 8.2

1. Evaluate the following 

(i) sin60° cos30° + sin30° cos 60°

Ans: sin60° cos30° + sin30° cos 60° 

(ii) 2tan245° + cos230° − sin260°

Ans: 

Ans:  

2. Choose the correct option and justify your choice. 

(a) sin60° 

(b) cos60° 

(c) tan60° 

(d) sin30°

Ans: (a) sin60° 

(a) tan90° 

(b) 1 

(c) sin45° 

(d) 0 

Ans: (D) 0 

(iii) sin2A = 2sinA is true when A =

(a) 0° 

(b) 30° 

(c) 45° 

(d) 60° 

Ans: Do yourself.

(a) cos60° 

(b) sin60° 

(c) tan60° 

(d) sin30° 

Ans: (c) tan60° 

3. 

Ans:  tan ( A + b) √3

tan (A + B)  = tan 60

⇒ A + B  = 60 ………………….(1)

⇒ A – B = 30……………………..(2) 

On adding both equations, we obtain

2A = 90

⇒ A = 45

From equation (1), we obtain

45 + B = 60

B = 15

Therefore, ∠A = 45° and ∠B = 15°

4: State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.

(i) sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B

Ans: (i) sin (A + B) = sin A + sin B Let A = 30° and B = 60°

sin (A + B) = sin (30° + 60°)

= sin 90° = 1

And sin A + sin B = sin 30° + sin 60°

Clearly, sin (A + B) ≠ sin A + sin B

Hence, the given statement is false.

(ii) The value of sinθ increases as θ increases.

Ans: The value of sin θ increases as θ  increases in the interval of 0° < θ < 90° as sin 0° = 0 

(iii) The value of cos θ increases as θ increases

Ans: 

cos90° = 0

It can be observed that the value of cos θ does not increase in the interval of 0°<θ<90°.

Hence, the given statement is false. 

(iv) sinθ = cos θ for all values of θ

Ans: sin θ = cos θ for all values of θ. This is true when θ = 45° 

It is not true for all other values of θ.

(v) cot A is not defined for A = 0° 

Ans: 

Exercise 8.3

1. Evaluate

Ans: 

(iv) cosec 31° − sec 59° = cosec (90° − 59°) − sec 59°

= sec 59° − sec 59°

= 0 

2. Show that

(i) tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67° = 1

Ans: tan 48° tan 23° tan 42° tan 67°

 = tan (90° − 42°) tan (90° − 67°) tan 42° tan 67°

= cot 42° cot 67° tan 42° tan 67°

= (cot 42° tan 42°) (cot 67° tan 67°)

= (1) (1)

= 1 

(ii) cos 38° cos 52° − sin 38° sin 52° = 0

Ans: cos 38° cos 52° − sin 38° sin 52°

= cos (90° − 52°) cos (90°−38°) − sin 38° sin 52°

= sin 52° sin 38° − sin 38° sin 52°

= 0 

3. If tan 2A = cot (A− 18°), where 2A is an acute angle, find the value of A.

Ans: Given that, tan 2A = cot (A− 18°)

cot (90° − 2A) = cot (A −18°)

90° − 2A = A− 18°

108° = 3A

A = 36° 

4. If tan A = cot B, prove that A + B = 90°

Ans: Given that, tan A = cot B

tan A = tan (90° − B)

A = 90° − B

A + B = 90°

 5. If sec 4A = cosec (A− 20°), where 4A is an acute angle, find the value of A.

Ans: Given that, sec 4A = cosec (A − 20°)

cosec (90° − 4A) = cosec (A − 20°)

90° − 4A= A− 20°

110° = 5A

A = 22° 

6. If A, Band C are interior angles of a triangle ABC then show that 

Ans: We know that for a triangle ABC,

∠ A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠B + ∠C= 180° − ∠A

7. Express sin 67° + cos 75° in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°. 

Ans: sin 67° + cos 75°

= sin (90° − 23°) + cos (90° − 15°)

= cos 23° + sin 15°
