10th Class Maths 11th Lesson Trigonometry Ex 11.1 Textbook Questions and Answers

Question 1.
In right angle triangle ABC, 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm are the lengths of AB, BC and CA respectively. Then, find out sin A, cos A and tan A.
Answer:
Given that
△ABC is a right angle triangle and Lengths of AB, BC and CA are 8 cm, 15 cm and 17 cm respectively.
Among the given lengths CA is longest.
Hence CA is the hypotenuse in △ABC and its opposite vertex having right angle.
i.e., ∠B = 90°.
With reference to ∠A, we have opposite side = BC = 15 cm
adjacent side = AB = 8 cm
and hypotenuse = AC = 17
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 1
sin A = \(\frac{\text { Opposite side of } \angle \mathrm{A}}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\) = \(\frac{BC}{AC}\) = \(\frac{15}{17}\)
cos A = \(\frac{\text { Adjacent side of } \angle \mathrm{A}}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\) = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\) = \(\frac{8}{17}\)
tan A = \(\frac{\text { Opposite side of } \angle \mathrm{A}}{\text { Adjacent side of } \angle \mathrm{A}}\) = \(\frac{BC}{AB}\) = \(\frac{15}{8}\)
∴ sin A = \(\frac{15}{17}\);
cos A = \(\frac{8}{17}\)
tan A = \(\frac{15}{8}\)

Question 2.
The sides of a right angle triangle PQR are PQ = 7 cm, QR = 25 cm and ∠P = 90° respectively. Then find, tan Q – tan R.
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 2
Given that △PQR is a right angled triangle and PQ = 7 cm, QR = 25 cm.
By Pythagoras theorem QR2 = PQ2 + PR2
(25)2 = (7)2 + PR2
PR2 = (25)2 – (7)2 = 625 – 49 = 576
PR = √576 = 24 cm
tan Q = \(\frac{PR}{PQ}\) = \(\frac{24}{7}\);
tan R = \(\frac{PQ}{PR}\) = \(\frac{7}{24}\)
∴ tan Q – tan R = \(\frac{24}{7}\) – \(\frac{7}{24}\)
= \(\frac{(24)^{2}-(7)^{2}}{168}\)
= \(\frac{576-49}{168}\)
= \(\frac{527}{168}\)

Question 3.
In a right angle triangle ABC with right angle at B, in which a = 24 units, b = 25 units and ∠BAC = θ. Then, find cos θ and tan θ.
Answer:
Given that ABC is a right angle triangle with right angle at B, and BC = a = 24 units, CA = b = 25 units and ∠BAC = θ.
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 3
By Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(25)2 = AB2 + (24)2
AB2 = 252 – 242 = 625 – 576
AB2 = 49
AB = √49 = 1
With reference to ∠BAC = θ, we have
Opposite side to θ = BC = 24 units.
Adjacent side to θ = AB = 7 units.
Hypotenuse = AC = 25 units.
Now
cos θ = \(\frac{\text { Adjacent side of } \theta}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\) = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\) = \(\frac{7}{25}\)
tan θ = \(\frac{\text { Opposite side of } \theta}{\text { Adjacent side of } \theta}\) = \(\frac{BC}{AB}\) = \(\frac{24}{7}\)
Hence cos θ = \(\frac{7}{25}\) and tan θ = \(\frac{24}{7}\)

Question 4.
If cos A = \(\frac{12}{13}\), then find sin A and tan A.
Answer:
From the identity
sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
⇒ sin2 A = 1 – cos2 A
= 1 – \(\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)^{2}\)
= 1 – \(\frac{144}{169}\)
= \(\frac{169-144}{169}\)
= \(\frac{25}{169}\)
∴ sin A = \(\sqrt{\frac{25}{169}}\) = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 4
∴ sin A = \(\frac{5}{13}\); tan A = \(\frac{5}{12}\)

Question 5.
If 3 tan A = 4, then find sin A and cos A.
Answer:
Given 3 tan A = 4
⇒ tan A = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
From the identify sec2 A – tan2 A = 1
⇒ 1 + tan2 A = sec2 A
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 5
If cos A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) then from
sin2 A + cos2 A = 1
We can write sin2A = 1 – cos2A
= 1 – \(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{2}\)
= 1 – \(\frac{9}{25}\)
⇒ sin2 A = \(\frac{16}{25}\)
⇒ sin A = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
∴ sin A = \(\frac{4}{5}\); cos A = \(\frac{3}{5}\)

Question 6.
In △ABC and △XYZ, if ∠A and ∠X are acute angles such that cos A = cos X then show that ∠A = ∠X.
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 6
In the given triangle, cos A = cos X
⇒ \(\frac{AC}{AX}\) = \(\frac{XC}{AX}\)
⇒ AC = XC
⇒ ∠A = ∠X (∵ Angles opposite to equal sides are also equal)

Question 7.
Given cot θ = \(\frac{7}{8}\), then evaluate
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 7
Answer:
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 8
cot2 θ = (cot θ)2
= \(\left(\frac{7}{8}\right)^{2}\) = \(\frac{49}{64}\) …… (1)
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 9
= sec θ + tan θ
So cot θ = \(\frac{7}{8}\)
⇒ tan θ = \(\frac{8}{7}\)
⇒ tan2 θ = \(\left(\frac{8}{7}\right)^{2}\) = \(\frac{64}{49}\)
From sec2 θ – tan2 θ = 1
⇒ 1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ

Question 8.
In a right angle triangle ABC, right angle is at B, if tan A = √3, then find the value of
i) sin A cos C + cos A sin C
ii) cos A cos C – sin A sin C
Answer:
Given, tan A = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\)
Hence \(\frac{\text { Opposite side }}{\text { Adjacent side }}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}\)
Let opposite side = √3k and adjacent side = 1k
AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Trigonometry Ex 11.1 12a
In right angled △ABC,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(By Pythagoras theorem)
⇒ AC2 = (1k)2 + (√3k)2
⇒ AC2 = 1k2 + 3k2
⇒ AC2 = 4k2
∴ AC = \(\sqrt{4 k^{2}}\) = 2k
