    Introduction to Trigonometry

    Q.1. Given sec θ = 13/12 Calculate all other trigonometric ratios.


    Solution:
    We know that sec function is the reciprocal of the cos function which is equal to
    the ratio
    of the length of the hypotenuse side to the adjacent side
    Let us assume a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at B
    sec θ =13/12 = Hypotenuse/Adjacent side = AC/AB
    Let AC be 13k and AB will be 12k
    Where, k is a positive real number.
    According to the Pythagoras theorem, the squares of the hypotenuse side is
    equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right angle triangle
    and we get,
    AC2=AB2 + BC2
    Substitute the value of AB and AC
    (13k)2= (12k)2 + BC2
    169k2= 144k2 + BC2
    169k2= 144k2 + BC2
    BC2 = 169k2– 144k2
    BC2= 25k2
    Therefore, BC = 5k
    Now, substitute the corresponding values in all other trigonometric ratios
    So,
    Sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse = BC/AC = 5/13
    Cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse = AB/AC = 12/13
    tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side = BC/AB = 5/12
    Cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side = AC/BC = 13/5
    cot θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side = AB/BC = 12/5

    Q.2. Prove that: (cosec θ – cot θ)2 = (1-cos θ)/(1+cos θ)


    Solution:
    To prove this, first take the Left-Hand side (L.H.S) of the given equation, to prove
    the Right Hand Side (R.H.S)
    L.H.S. = (cosec θ – cot θ)2
    The above equation is in the form of (a-b)2, and expand it
    Since (a-b)2 = a2 + b2– 2ab
    Here a = cosec θ and b = cot θ
    = (cosec2 θ + cot2θ – 2cosec θ cot θ)
    Now, apply the corresponding inverse functions and equivalent ratios to simplify
    = (1/sin2 θ + cos2θ/sin2θ – 2cos θ/sin2θ)
    = (1 + cos2 θ – 2cos θ)/(1 – cos2θ)
    = (1-cos θ)2/(1 – cosθ)(1+cos θ)
    = (1-cos θ)/(1+cos θ) = R.H.S.
    Therefore, (cosec θ – cot θ)2 = (1-cos θ)/(1+cos θ)
    Hence proved.

    Q.3.Evaluate: sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60°


    Solution:
    sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60°
    First, find the values of the given trigonometric ratios
    sin 30° = 1/2
    cos 30° = √3/2
    sin 60° = √3/2
    cos 60°= 1/2
    Now, substitute the values in the given problem
    sin 60° cos 30° + sin 30° cos 60° = √3/2 ×√3/2 + (1/2) ×(1/2 ) = 3/4+1/4 = 4/4 =1

    Q.4.In ∆ ABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. Determine:


    (i) sin A, (ii) cos A
    Solution:
    In a given triangle ABC, right angled at B = ∠B = 90°
    Given: AB = 24 cm and BC = 7 cm
    According to the Pythagoras Theorem,
    In a right- angled triangle, the squares of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum
    of the squares of the other two sides.
    By applying Pythagoras theorem, we get
    AC2=AB2+BC2
    AC2 = (24)2+72
    AC2 = (576+49)
    AC2 = 625cm2
    AC = √625 = 25
    Therefore, AC = 25 cm
    (i) To find Sin A
    We know that sine (or) Sin function is equal to the ratio of length of the opposite
    side to the hypotenuse side. So it becomes
    Sin A = Perpendicular /Hypotenuse = BC/AC = 7/25
    (ii)Cosine or Cos function is equal to the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to
    the hypotenuse side and it becomes,
    Cos A = Base /Hypotenuse = AB/AC = 24/25
