1. Evaluate the following:
(i) \( (1 + \tan \theta + \sec \theta) (1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta) \)

Let’s expand the expression:

\( = 1(1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta) + \tan \theta(1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta) + \sec \theta(1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta) \)

\( = 1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta + \tan \theta + \tan \theta \cot \theta – \tan \theta \csc \theta + \sec \theta + \sec \theta \cot \theta – \sec \theta \csc \theta \)

Simplify using trigonometric identities:

\( \tan \theta \cot \theta = 1 \)

\( \tan \theta \csc \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \cdot \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \sec \theta \)

\( \sec \theta \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} \cdot \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \csc \theta \)

Substituting back:

\( = 1 + \cot \theta – \csc \theta + \tan \theta + 1 – \sec \theta + \sec \theta + \csc \theta – \sec \theta \csc \theta \)

Many terms cancel out:

\( = 2 + \cot \theta + \tan \theta – \sec \theta \csc \theta \)

(ii) \( (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)^2 + (\sin \theta – \cos \theta)^2 \)

Expand both squares:

\( = (\sin^2 \theta + 2\sin \theta \cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta) + (\sin^2 \theta – 2\sin \theta \cos \theta + \cos^2 \theta) \)

Combine like terms:

\( = 2\sin^2 \theta + 2\cos^2 \theta \)

Factor out 2:

\( = 2(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta) \)

Using the identity \( \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \):

\( = 2(1) = 2 \)

(iii) \( (\sec^2 \theta – 1) (\csc^2 \theta – 1) \)

We know that:

\( \sec^2 \theta – 1 = \tan^2 \theta \)

\( \csc^2 \theta – 1 = \cot^2 \theta \)

So the expression becomes:

\( \tan^2 \theta \cdot \cot^2 \theta \)

Since \( \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} \):

\( = \tan^2 \theta \cdot \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} = 1 \)

2. Show that \( (\csc \theta – \cot \theta)^2 = \frac{1 – \cos \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} \)

Start with the left side:

\( (\csc \theta – \cot \theta)^2 \)

Express in terms of sine and cosine:

\( = \left( \frac{1}{\sin \theta} – \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \right)^2 = \left( \frac{1 – \cos \theta}{\sin \theta} \right)^2 = \frac{(1 – \cos \theta)^2}{\sin^2 \theta} \)

Using \( \sin^2 \theta = 1 – \cos^2 \theta \):

\( = \frac{(1 – \cos \theta)^2}{(1 – \cos \theta)(1 + \cos \theta)} \)

Cancel \( (1 – \cos \theta) \):

\( = \frac{1 – \cos \theta}{1 + \cos \theta} \)

Which matches the right side.

3. Show that \( \sqrt{\frac{1 + \sin A}{1 – \sin A}} = \sec A + \tan A \)

Start with the left side:

Rationalize the numerator by multiplying numerator and denominator by \( 1 + \sin A \):

\( \sqrt{\frac{(1 + \sin A)^2}{1 – \sin^2 A}} = \sqrt{\frac{(1 + \sin A)^2}{\cos^2 A}} = \frac{1 + \sin A}{\cos A} \)

Split the fraction:

\( = \frac{1}{\cos A} + \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \sec A + \tan A \)

Which matches the right side.

4. Show that \( \frac{1 – \tan^2 A}{\cot^2 A – 1} = \tan^2 A \)

Start with the left side:

Express everything in terms of tan A:

\( \cot A = \frac{1}{\tan A} \), so \( \cot^2 A = \frac{1}{\tan^2 A} \)

Substitute:

\( \frac{1 – \tan^2 A}{\frac{1}{\tan^2 A} – 1} = \frac{1 – \tan^2 A}{\frac{1 – \tan^2 A}{\tan^2 A}} \)

Divide by a fraction is same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

\( = (1 – \tan^2 A) \cdot \frac{\tan^2 A}{1 – \tan^2 A} = \tan^2 A \)

Which matches the right side.

5. Show that \( \frac{1}{\cos \theta} – \cos \theta = \tan \theta \cdot \sin \theta \)

Start with the left side:

\( \frac{1}{\cos \theta} – \cos \theta = \frac{1 – \cos^2 \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos \theta} \)

Now, the right side:

\( \tan \theta \cdot \sin \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} \cdot \sin \theta = \frac{\sin^2 \theta}{\cos \theta} \)

Both sides are equal.

6. Simplify \( \sec A (1 – \sin A) (\sec A + \tan A) \)

First, expand the expression:

\( = \sec A (1 – \sin A) \sec A + \sec A (1 – \sin A) \tan A \)

\( = \sec^2 A (1 – \sin A) + \sec A \tan A (1 – \sin A) \)

Factor out \( (1 – \sin A) \):

\( = (1 – \sin A)(\sec^2 A + \sec A \tan A) \)

Express in terms of cosine and sine:

\( = (1 – \sin A)\left( \frac{1}{\cos^2 A} + \frac{\sin A}{\cos^2 A} \right) = (1 – \sin A)\left( \frac{1 + \sin A}{\cos^2 A} \right) \)

Numerator becomes \( 1 – \sin^2 A = \cos^2 A \):

\( = \frac{\cos^2 A}{\cos^2 A} = 1 \)

7. Prove that \( (\sin A + \csc A)^2 + (\cos A + \sec A)^2 = 7 + \tan^2 A + \cot^2 A \)

Expand both squares:

\( = \sin^2 A + 2\sin A \csc A + \csc^2 A + \cos^2 A + 2\cos A \sec A + \sec^2 A \)

Simplify using identities:

\( \sin A \csc A = 1 \), \( \cos A \sec A = 1 \)

\( \csc^2 A = 1 + \cot^2 A \), \( \sec^2 A = 1 + \tan^2 A \)

Also, \( \sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1 \)

Substitute:

\( = 1 + 2(1) + (1 + \cot^2 A) + 2(1) + (1 + \tan^2 A) \)

Combine like terms:

\( = 1 + 2 + 1 + \cot^2 A + 2 + 1 + \tan^2 A \)

\( = 7 + \tan^2 A + \cot^2 A \)

8. Simplify \( (1 – \cos \theta) (1 + \cos \theta) (1 + \cot^2 \theta) \)

First two terms are difference of squares:

\( = (1 – \cos^2 \theta)(1 + \cot^2 \theta) \)

\( = \sin^2 \theta \cdot \csc^2 \theta \) (since \( 1 + \cot^2 \theta = \csc^2 \theta \))

\( = \sin^2 \theta \cdot \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} = 1 \)

9. If \( \sec \theta + \tan \theta = p \), then what is the value of \( \sec \theta – \tan \theta \)?

We know the identity:

\( \sec^2 \theta – \tan^2 \theta = 1 \)

This can be written as:

\( (\sec \theta + \tan \theta)(\sec \theta – \tan \theta) = 1 \)

Given \( \sec \theta + \tan \theta = p \), then:

\( p (\sec \theta – \tan \theta) = 1 \)

Therefore:

\( \sec \theta – \tan \theta = \frac{1}{p} \)

10. If \( \csc \theta + \cot \theta = k \), then prove that \( \cos \theta = \frac{k^2 – 1}{k^2 + 1} \)

We know the identity:

\( \csc^2 \theta – \cot^2 \theta = 1 \)

This can be written as:

\( (\csc \theta + \cot \theta)(\csc \theta – \cot \theta) = 1 \)

Given \( \csc \theta + \cot \theta = k \), then \( \csc \theta – \cot \theta = \frac{1}{k} \)

Add the two equations:

\( 2\csc \theta = k + \frac{1}{k} = \frac{k^2 + 1}{k} \)

Subtract the two equations:

\( 2\cot \theta = k – \frac{1}{k} = \frac{k^2 – 1}{k} \)

Now, \( \cos \theta = \frac{\cot \theta}{\csc \theta} = \frac{\frac{k^2 – 1}{2k}}{\frac{k^2 + 1}{2k}} = \frac{k^2 – 1}{k^2 + 1} \)

1. Evaluate:
(i) \(\frac{\tan 36^\circ}{\cot 54^\circ}\)

We know that \(\cot(90^\circ – \theta) = \tan\theta\), so \(\cot 54^\circ = \tan 36^\circ\).

Therefore, \(\frac{\tan 36^\circ}{\cot 54^\circ} = \frac{\tan 36^\circ}{\tan 36^\circ} = 1\)

(ii) \(\cos 12^\circ – \sin 78^\circ\)

We know that \(\sin(90^\circ – \theta) = \cos\theta\), so \(\sin 78^\circ = \cos 12^\circ\).

Therefore, \(\cos 12^\circ – \sin 78^\circ = \cos 12^\circ – \cos 12^\circ = 0\)

(iii) \(\csc 31^\circ – \sec 59^\circ\)

We know that \(\sec(90^\circ – \theta) = \csc\theta\), so \(\sec 59^\circ = \csc 31^\circ\).

Therefore, \(\csc 31^\circ – \sec 59^\circ = \csc 31^\circ – \csc 31^\circ = 0\)

(iv) \(\sin 15^\circ \sec 75^\circ\)

We know that \(\sec\theta = \frac{1}{\cos\theta}\) and \(\cos(90^\circ – \theta) = \sin\theta\).

\(\sec 75^\circ = \frac{1}{\cos 75^\circ} = \frac{1}{\sin 15^\circ}\)

Therefore, \(\sin 15^\circ \sec 75^\circ = \sin 15^\circ \times \frac{1}{\sin 15^\circ} = 1\)

(vi) \(\tan 26^\circ \tan 64^\circ\)

We know that \(\tan(90^\circ – \theta) = \cot\theta\), so \(\tan 64^\circ = \cot 26^\circ\).

Also, \(\cot\theta = \frac{1}{\tan\theta}\), so \(\tan 26^\circ \tan 64^\circ = \tan 26^\circ \cot 26^\circ = \tan 26^\circ \times \frac{1}{\tan 26^\circ} = 1\)

2. Show that:
(i) \(\tan 48^\circ \tan 16^\circ \tan 42^\circ \tan 74^\circ = 1\)

We can rearrange the terms:

\(\tan 48^\circ \tan 42^\circ \tan 16^\circ \tan 74^\circ\)

We know that \(\tan(90^\circ – \theta) = \cot\theta\), so:

\(\tan 42^\circ = \cot 48^\circ\) and \(\tan 74^\circ = \cot 16^\circ\)

Now the expression becomes:

\(\tan 48^\circ \cot 48^\circ \tan 16^\circ \cot 16^\circ\)

Since \(\tan\theta \cot\theta = 1\), the expression simplifies to \(1 \times 1 = 1\)

(ii) \(\cos 36^\circ \cos 54^\circ – \sin 36^\circ \sin 54^\circ = 0\)

We know that \(\cos(90^\circ – \theta) = \sin\theta\), so \(\cos 54^\circ = \sin 36^\circ\).

Similarly, \(\sin 54^\circ = \cos 36^\circ\).

Substituting these values:

\(\cos 36^\circ \sin 36^\circ – \sin 36^\circ \cos 36^\circ = 0\)

3. If \(\tan 2A = \cot(A – 18^\circ)\), where \(2A\) is an acute angle. Find the value of \(A\).

We know that \(\cot(90^\circ – \theta) = \tan\theta\), so we can write:

\(\tan 2A = \cot(A – 18^\circ) = \tan(90^\circ – (A – 18^\circ)) = \tan(108^\circ – A)\)

Since \(2A\) is acute, both sides are equal:

\(2A = 108^\circ – A\)

\(3A = 108^\circ\)

\(A = 36^\circ\)

4. If \(\tan A = \cot B\) where \(A\) and \(B\) are acute angles, prove that \(A + B = 90^\circ\).

We know that \(\cot B = \tan(90^\circ – B)\), so:

\(\tan A = \tan(90^\circ – B)\)

Since both \(A\) and \(B\) are acute angles, we can equate the angles:

\(A = 90^\circ – B\)

Therefore, \(A + B = 90^\circ\)

5. If \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are interior angles of a triangle \(ABC\), then show that \(\tan\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) = \cot\frac{C}{2}\)

In any triangle, the sum of interior angles is \(180^\circ\):

\(A + B + C = 180^\circ\)

Therefore, \(A + B = 180^\circ – C\)

Divide both sides by 2:

\(\frac{A + B}{2} = 90^\circ – \frac{C}{2}\)

Now take the tangent of both sides:

\(\tan\left(\frac{A + B}{2}\right) = \tan\left(90^\circ – \frac{C}{2}\right) = \cot\frac{C}{2}\)

This completes the proof.

6. Express \(\sin 75^\circ + \cos 65^\circ\) in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between \(0^\circ\) and \(45^\circ\).

We can express both terms using complementary angle identities:

\(\sin 75^\circ = \cos 15^\circ\) (since \(\sin\theta = \cos(90^\circ – \theta)\))

\(\cos 65^\circ = \sin 25^\circ\) (since \(\cos\theta = \sin(90^\circ – \theta)\))

Therefore, \(\sin 75^\circ + \cos 65^\circ = \cos 15^\circ + \sin 25^\circ\)

Note: Both 15° and 25° are between 0° and 45° as required.

Exercise 11.2 Solutions

Class X Mathematics textbook by the State Council of Educational Research and Training, Telangana, Hyderabad

1. Evaluate the following:

(i) \(\sin 45^\circ + \cos 45^\circ\)

Solution:

We know that \(\sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) and \(\cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)

\(\sin 45^\circ + \cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}\)

(ii) \(\frac{\sin 30^\circ + \tan 45^\circ – \csc 60^\circ}{\cot 45^\circ + \cos 60^\circ – \sec 30^\circ}\)

Solution:

First, let’s evaluate each trigonometric function:

  • \(\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\)
  • \(\tan 45^\circ = 1\)
  • \(\csc 60^\circ = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  • \(\cot 45^\circ = 1\)
  • \(\cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\)
  • \(\sec 30^\circ = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Numerator: \(\frac{1}{2} + 1 – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3}{2} – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Denominator: \(1 + \frac{1}{2} – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3}{2} – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Thus, the expression becomes \(\frac{\frac{3}{2} – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{\frac{3}{2} – \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}} = 1\)

(v) \(\frac{\sec^2 60^\circ – \tan^2 60^\circ}{\sin^2 30^\circ + \cos^2 30^\circ}\)

Solution:

We know the trigonometric identities:

  • \(\sec^2 \theta – \tan^2 \theta = 1\)
  • \(\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1\)

Numerator: \(\sec^2 60^\circ – \tan^2 60^\circ = 1\) (by identity)

Denominator: \(\sin^2 30^\circ + \cos^2 30^\circ = 1\) (by identity)

Thus, the expression becomes \(\frac{1}{1} = 1\)

2. Choose the right option and justify your choice:

(i) \(\frac{2 \tan 30^\circ}{1 + \tan^2 45^\circ} =\)

Options:

(a) \(\sin 60^\circ\) (b) \(\cos 60^\circ\) (c) \(\tan 30^\circ\) (d) \(\sin 30^\circ\)

Solution:

Evaluate each part:

\(\tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), \(\tan 45^\circ = 1\)

Numerator: \(2 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Denominator: \(1 + 1^2 = 2\)

Expression: \(\frac{2/\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.577\)

Now evaluate options:

(d) \(\sin 30^\circ = 0.5\)

But \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.577\) which is \(\sin 30^\circ\) plus some difference

Actually, \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \tan 30^\circ\), but that’s option (c)

However, \(\sin 30^\circ = 0.5\) and our result is 0.577, which matches none exactly

But \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \tan 30^\circ\), so correct answer is (c) \(\tan 30^\circ\)

(ii) \(\frac{1 – \tan^2 45^\circ}{1 + \tan^2 45^\circ} =\)

Options:

(a) \(\tan 90^\circ\) (b) 1 (c) \(\sin 45^\circ\) (d) 0

Solution:

\(\tan 45^\circ = 1\)

Numerator: \(1 – 1^2 = 0\)

Denominator: \(1 + 1^2 = 2\)

Expression: \(\frac{0}{2} = 0\)

Correct answer is (d) 0

(iii) \(\frac{2 \tan 30^\circ}{1 – \tan^2 30^\circ} =\)

Options:

(a) \(\cos 60^\circ\) (b) \(\sin 60^\circ\) (c) \(\tan 60^\circ\) (d) \(\sin 30^\circ\)

Solution:

This is the double angle formula for tangent:

\(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1 – \tan^2 \theta} = \tan 2\theta\)

Here \(\theta = 30^\circ\), so expression equals \(\tan 60^\circ\)

Correct answer is (c) \(\tan 60^\circ\)

3. Evaluate \(\sin 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \sin 30^\circ \cos 60^\circ\). What is the value of \(\sin(60^\circ + 30^\circ)\). What can you conclude?

Solution:

First part:

\(\sin 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \sin 30^\circ \cos 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1\)

Second part:

\(\sin(60^\circ + 30^\circ) = \sin 90^\circ = 1\)

Conclusion:

This demonstrates the angle addition formula: \(\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B\)

4. Is it right to say that \(\cos(60^\circ + 30^\circ) = \cos 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ – \sin 60^\circ \sin 30^\circ\)?

Solution:

Left side: \(\cos(60^\circ + 30^\circ) = \cos 90^\circ = 0\)

Right side: \(\cos 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ – \sin 60^\circ \sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} – \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} – \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} = 0\)

Both sides equal 0, so the statement is correct. This demonstrates the cosine addition formula: \(\cos(A + B) = \cos A \cos B – \sin A \sin B\)

5. In right angle triangle \(\triangle PQR\), right angle is at \(Q, PQ = 6 \text{cm}\) and \(\angle RPQ = 60^\circ\). Determine the lengths of \(QR\) and \(PR\).

Diagram description:

Right triangle PQR with right angle at Q. Points are ordered P-Q-R clockwise or counterclockwise. PQ is the side adjacent to the 60° angle at P, QR is opposite the 60° angle, and PR is the hypotenuse.

Solution:

Given:

  • Right angle at Q
  • PQ = 6 cm
  • \(\angle RPQ = 60^\circ\)

Using trigonometric ratios:

\(\tan 60^\circ = \frac{QR}{PQ} \Rightarrow QR = PQ \times \tan 60^\circ = 6 \times \sqrt{3} = 6\sqrt{3} \text{ cm}\)

\(\cos 60^\circ = \frac{PQ}{PR} \Rightarrow PR = \frac{PQ}{\cos 60^\circ} = \frac{6}{0.5} = 12 \text{ cm}\)

Thus, QR = \(6\sqrt{3}\) cm and PR = 12 cm

6. In \(\triangle XYZ\), right angle is at \(Y, YZ = x\), and \(XZ = 2x\). Then determine \(\angle YXZ\) and \(\angle YZX\).

Diagram description:

Right triangle XYZ with right angle at Y. Points are ordered X-Y-Z clockwise or counterclockwise. YZ is one leg (length x), XY is the other leg, and XZ is the hypotenuse (length 2x).

Solution:

Given:

  • Right angle at Y
  • YZ = x
  • XZ = 2x (hypotenuse)

First, find XY using Pythagorean theorem:

\(XY = \sqrt{XZ^2 – YZ^2} = \sqrt{(2x)^2 – x^2} = \sqrt{4x^2 – x^2} = \sqrt{3x^2} = x\sqrt{3}\)

Now find angles:

\(\sin \angle YXZ = \frac{YZ}{XZ} = \frac{x}{2x} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \angle YXZ = 30^\circ\)

\(\angle YZX = 90^\circ – \angle YXZ = 90^\circ – 30^\circ = 60^\circ\)

Thus, \(\angle YXZ = 30^\circ\) and \(\angle YZX = 60^\circ\)

7. Is it right to say that \(\sin (A + B) = \sin A + \sin B\)? Justify your answer.

Solution:

No, this is not correct in general. The correct formula is \(\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B\).

Counterexample: Let A = 30° and B = 60°

\(\sin(30^\circ + 60^\circ) = \sin 90^\circ = 1\)

But \(\sin 30^\circ + \sin 60^\circ = 0.5 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.5 + 0.866 = 1.366\)

Clearly, 1 ≠ 1.366, so the statement is false.

The correct relationship is the angle addition formula: \(\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B\)

Exercise 11.1 Solutions

1. In right angle triangle ABC, 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm are the lengths of AB, BC and CA respectively. Then, find sin A, cos A and tan A.

Diagram description: Right-angled triangle ABC with right angle at B. AB is the side adjacent to angle A (8 cm), BC is the side opposite to angle A (15 cm), and CA is the hypotenuse (17 cm).

Given: AB = 8 cm (adjacent to ∠A), BC = 15 cm (opposite to ∠A), CA = 17 cm (hypotenuse)

\[ \sin A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{BC}{CA} = \frac{15}{17} \]

\[ \cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{AB}{CA} = \frac{8}{17} \]

\[ \tan A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{15}{8} \]

2. The sides of a right angle triangle PQR are \( PQ = 7 \, \text{cm} \), \( PR = 25 \, \text{cm} \) and \( \angle Q = 90^\circ \) respectively. Then find, tan P – tan R.

Diagram description: Right-angled triangle PQR with right angle at Q. PQ is one leg (7 cm), QR is the other leg (to be calculated), and PR is the hypotenuse (25 cm).

First, find QR using Pythagoras theorem:

\[ QR = \sqrt{PR^2 – PQ^2} = \sqrt{25^2 – 7^2} = \sqrt{625 – 49} = \sqrt{576} = 24 \, \text{cm} \]

Now calculate trigonometric ratios:

\[ \tan P = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{QR}{PQ} = \frac{24}{7} \]

\[ \tan R = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{PQ}{QR} = \frac{7}{24} \]

\[ \tan P – \tan R = \frac{24}{7} – \frac{7}{24} = \frac{576 – 49}{168} = \frac{527}{168} \]

3. In a right angle triangle ABC with right angle at B, in which \( a = 24 \, \text{units}, b = 25 \, \text{units} \) and \( \angle BAC = \theta \). Then, find \( \cos \theta \) and \( \tan \theta \).

Diagram description: Right-angled triangle ABC with right angle at B. BC = 24 units (opposite to θ), AB is the adjacent side (to be calculated), and AC = 25 units (hypotenuse).

Given: BC = a = 24 units (opposite to θ), AC = b = 25 units (hypotenuse)

First, find AB using Pythagoras theorem:

\[ AB = \sqrt{AC^2 – BC^2} = \sqrt{25^2 – 24^2} = \sqrt{625 – 576} = \sqrt{49} = 7 \, \text{units} \]

Now calculate trigonometric ratios:

\[ \cos \theta = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{7}{25} \]

\[ \tan \theta = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{24}{7} \]

4. If \( \cos A = \frac{12}{13} \), then find \( \sin A \) and \( \tan A \, (A < 90^\circ) \).

Given: \( \cos A = \frac{12}{13} = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \)

Let adjacent side = 12k, hypotenuse = 13k

Find opposite side using Pythagoras theorem:

\[ \text{Opposite} = \sqrt{(13k)^2 – (12k)^2} = \sqrt{169k^2 – 144k^2} = \sqrt{25k^2} = 5k \]

Now calculate:

\[ \sin A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{5k}{13k} = \frac{5}{13} \]

\[ \tan A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{5k}{12k} = \frac{5}{12} \]

5. If 3 \(\tan A = 4\), then find \( \sin A \) and \( \cos A \).

Given: \( 3 \tan A = 4 \) ⇒ \( \tan A = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \)

Let opposite side = 4k, adjacent side = 3k

Find hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem:

\[ \text{Hypotenuse} = \sqrt{(4k)^2 + (3k)^2} = \sqrt{16k^2 + 9k^2} = \sqrt{25k^2} = 5k \]

Now calculate:

\[ \sin A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{4k}{5k} = \frac{4}{5} \]

\[ \cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{3k}{5k} = \frac{3}{5} \]

6. In \( \triangle ABC \) and \( \triangle XYZ \), if \( \angle A \) and \( \angle X \) are acute angles such that \( \cos A = \cos X \) then show that \( \angle A = \angle X \).

Let’s consider two right triangles ABC and XYZ where \( \angle B = 90^\circ \) and \( \angle Y = 90^\circ \).

For \( \triangle ABC \):

\[ \cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} \]

For \( \triangle XYZ \):

\[ \cos X = \frac{XY}{XZ} \]

Given \( \cos A = \cos X \), so \( \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{XY}{XZ} = k \) (say)

Let \( AB = k \cdot AC \) and \( XY = k \cdot XZ \)

Using Pythagoras theorem in both triangles:

In \( \triangle ABC \): \( BC = \sqrt{AC^2 – AB^2} = \sqrt{AC^2 – k^2 AC^2} = AC \sqrt{1 – k^2} \)

In \( \triangle XYZ \): \( YZ = \sqrt{XZ^2 – XY^2} = \sqrt{XZ^2 – k^2 XZ^2} = XZ \sqrt{1 – k^2} \)

Now all corresponding sides are proportional:

\[ \frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{k AC}{k XZ} = \frac{AC}{XZ} \]

\[ \frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{AC \sqrt{1 – k^2}}{XZ \sqrt{1 – k^2}} = \frac{AC}{XZ} \]

Thus, \( \triangle ABC \sim \triangle XYZ \) by SSS similarity, and therefore \( \angle A = \angle X \).

7. Given \( \cot \theta = \frac{7}{8} \), then evaluate
(i) \( \frac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 – \sin \theta)}{(1 + \cos \theta)(1 – \cos \theta)} \)
(ii) \( \frac{(1 + \sin \theta)}{\cos \theta} \)

Given: \( \cot \theta = \frac{7}{8} = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} \)

Let adjacent side = 7k, opposite side = 8k

Find hypotenuse:

\[ \text{Hypotenuse} = \sqrt{(7k)^2 + (8k)^2} = \sqrt{49k^2 + 64k^2} = \sqrt{113k^2} = k\sqrt{113} \]

Thus:

\[ \sin \theta = \frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}, \quad \cos \theta = \frac{7}{\sqrt{113}} \]

(i) Simplify the expression:

\[ \frac{(1 + \sin \theta)(1 – \sin \theta)}{(1 + \cos \theta)(1 – \cos \theta)} = \frac{1 – \sin^2 \theta}{1 – \cos^2 \theta} = \frac{\cos^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta} = \cot^2 \theta = \left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^2 = \frac{49}{64} \]

(ii) Evaluate:

\[ \frac{1 + \sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \sec \theta + \tan \theta \]

\[ = \frac{\sqrt{113}}{7} + \frac{8}{7} = \frac{8 + \sqrt{113}}{7} \]

8. In a right angle triangle ABC, right angle is at B. If \( \tan A = \sqrt{3} \), then find the value of
(i) \( \sin A \, \cos C + \cos A \, \sin C \)
(ii) \( \cos A \, \cos C – \sin A \, \sin C \)

Diagram description: Right-angled triangle ABC with right angle at B. Angle A is θ, angle C is (90°-θ). AB is the adjacent side to angle A, BC is the opposite side to angle A, and AC is the hypotenuse.

Given: \( \tan A = \sqrt{3} = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{BC}{AB} \)

Let AB = 1 unit, BC = √3 units

Find hypotenuse AC:

\[ AC = \sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = 2 \, \text{units} \]

Now find trigonometric ratios:

\[ \sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Since \( \angle C = 90^\circ – \angle A \):

\[ \sin C = \cos A = \frac{1}{2}, \quad \cos C = \sin A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]

(i) Evaluate:

\[ \sin A \cos C + \cos A \sin C = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1 \]

(ii) Evaluate:

\[ \cos A \cos C – \sin A \sin C = \left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) – \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} – \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} = 0 \]
