Show SolutionHide Solution↓

(i) Given,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{4 cos}^2 x° - 1 = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{4 cos}^2 x° = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos}^2 x° = \frac{1}{4} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos x°} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{cos x°} = \pm \frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$$

Since, x is an acute angle.

$\therefore \text{cos x°} = \frac{1}{2}$.

⇒ cos x° = cos 60°

⇒ x = 60.

Hence, x = 60.

(ii) Substituting value of x in sin2 x° + cos2 x° we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\text{sin}^2 x° + \text{cos}^2 x° = \text{sin}^2 60° + \text{cos}^2 60° \\[1em] = \Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} \\[1em] = \frac{4}{4} \\[1em] = 1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, sin2 x° + cos2 x° = 1.

(iii) Substituting value of x in cos2 x° - sin2 x° we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\text{cos}^2 x° - \text{sin}^2 x° = \text{cos}^2 60° - \text{sin}^2 60° \\[1em] = \Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2 - \Big(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{4} \\[1em] = -\frac{2}{4} \\[1em] = -\frac{1}{2}.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, cos2 x° - sin2 x° = $-\frac{1}{2}$.

Hence, sin x = $\frac{1}{2}$.

(ii) Substituting value of x in cos 2x, we get :

⇒ cos 2x = cos 60° = $\frac{1}{2}$.

Hence, cos x = $\frac{1}{2}$.

(iii) Substituting value of x in tan2 x - sec2 x, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \text{tan}^2 x - \text{sec}^2 x = \text{tan}^2 60° - \text{sec}^2 60° \\[1em] = (\sqrt{3})^2 - (2)^2 \\[1em] = 3 - 4 \\[1em] = -1.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, tan2 x - sec2 x = -1.

⇒ tan θ = $\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$

⇒ tan θ = $\pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

As, θ is acute.

∴ tan θ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

⇒ tan θ = tan 30°

cos 2θ = cos 60° = $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence, cos 2θ = $\frac{1}{2}$.

Given,

⇒ sin(A + B) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

⇒ sin(A + B) = sin 60°

Also,

⇒ cos(A - B) = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

⇒ cos(A - B) = cos 30°

⇒ A - B = 30° ..........(2)

Adding, (1) and (2), we get :

⇒ (A + B) + (A - B) = 60° + 30°

⇒ A + A + B - B = 90°

⇒ 2A = 90°

⇒ A = 45°.

Substituting value of A in (1), we get :

⇒ A + B = 60°

⇒ 45° + B = 60°

⇒ B = 60° - 45°

⇒ B = 15°.

Hence, A = 45° and B = 15°.

If the length of each side of a rhombus is 8 cm and its one angle is 60°, then find the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect the opposite angles and are perpendicular to each other.

If the length of each side of a rhombus is 8 cm and its one angle is 60°, then find the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus. Trigonometrical Ratios of Standard Angles, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

∴ ∠OAB = $\frac{60°}{2}$ = 30°.

In right ∠AOB,

⇒ sin 30° = $\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{OB}{AB}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{OB}{AB}$

⇒ OB = $\frac{AB}{2}$

⇒ OB = $\frac{8}{2}$ = 4 cm.

As diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.

∴ BD = 2 OB = 2 × 4 = 8 cm.

cos 30° = $\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{OA}{AB}$

⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{OA}{AB}$

⇒ OA = $\frac{AB\sqrt{3}}{2}$

⇒ OA = $\frac{8\sqrt{3}}{2} = 4\sqrt{3}$.

As diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.

∴ AC = 2 OA = $2 \times 4\sqrt{3} = 8\sqrt{3}$.

Hence, the length of the diagonals of the rhombus are 8 cm and $8\sqrt{3}$ cm.

Hence, AB = $4\sqrt{3}$ cm and BC = $2\sqrt{3}$ cm.

Let AB = d meters, then PC = d meters.

From right-angled △PCQ,

We know that,

sin (90° - θ) = cos θ, cos (90° - θ) = sin θ and sec (90° - θ) = cosec θ.

Substituting values in equation, we get :

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{\text{cos θ}}{\text{sin (90° - θ)}} + \frac{\text{\text{cos (90° - θ)}}}{\text{sec (90° - θ)}} - \text{3 tan}^2 30° \\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\text{cos θ}}{\text{cos θ}} + \frac{\text{\text{sin θ}}}{\text{cosec θ}} - \text{3 tan}^2 30° \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1 + \frac{\text{sin θ}}{\frac{1}{\text{sin θ}}} -3 \times \Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = 1 + \text{sin}^2 θ - 3 \times \frac{1}{3} \\[1em] = 1 - 1 + \text{sin}^2 θ\\[1em] = \text{sin}^2 θ.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, $\frac{\text{cos θ}}{\text{sin (90° - θ)}} + \frac{\text{\text{cos (90° - θ)}}}{\text{sec (90° - θ)}} - \text{3 tan}^2 30°$ = sin2 θ.

We know that,

sin (90° - θ) = cos θ
cos (90° - θ) = sin θ
sec (90° - θ) = cosec θ
cosec (90° - θ) = cot θ

∴ A + B + C = 180°

⇒ $\frac{A + B + C}{2} = 90°$

⇒ $\frac{A + C}{2} = 90° - \frac{B}{2}$

To prove,

tan $\frac{C + A}{2}$ = cot $\frac{B}{2}$

Substituting value of $\frac{C + A}{2}$ in L.H.S. of equation we get :

Solving R.H.S.,

$$\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow \frac{\text{cosec θ}}{\text{cot θ}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{1}{\text{sin θ}}}{\frac{\text{cos θ}}{\text{sin θ}}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{\text{sin θ}}{\text{sin θ} \times \text{cos θ}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \frac{1}{\text{cos θ}}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{sec θ}.\end{aligned}$$

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.

2Assertion Reason Type Questions

Assertion (A): If 0° < A + B ≤ 90°, A > B and cos (A + B) = $\frac{1}{2}$ = sin (A - B), then we can say that A = 45° and B = 15°.

Reason (R): sin 60° = cos 60°.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Given, cos (A + B) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Since 0° < A + B ≤ 90°, the angle whose cosine = $\frac{1}{2}$ is 60°.

So, A + B = 60° ....................(1)

sin (A - B) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Since A > B, A - B will be positive. The angle whose sine = $\frac{1}{2}$ is 30°.

So, A - B = 30° ....................(2)

Adding equations (1) and (2), we get :

⇒ (A + B) + (A - B) = 60° + 30°

⇒ A + B + A - B = 90°

⇒ 2A = 90°

⇒ A = $\frac{90°}{2}$

⇒ A = 45°

Substituting the value of A in equation (1), we get :

⇒ 45° + B = 60°

⇒ B = 60° - 45°

⇒ B = 15°.

∴ Assertion (A) is true.

sin 60° = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

cos 60° = $\frac{1}{2}$

As sin 60° ≠ cos 60°

∴ Reason (R) is false.

∴ Assertion (A) is true, Reason (R) is false.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

3Assertion Reason Type Questions

Assertion (A): If ΔABC is equilateral, then cos A + cos B + cos C = sin A + sin B + sin C.

Reason (R): In isosceles right angled triangle ABC, cos A + cos C = sin A + sin C.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

According to assertion, if ΔABC is equilateral, then cos A + cos B + cos C = sin A + sin B + sin C.

In an equilateral triangle, all three angles are equal to 60°. So, A = B = C = 60°.

Taking L.H.S.,

⇒ cos A + cos B + cos C

⇒ cos 60° + cos 60° + cos 60°

⇒ $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{3}{2}$

Taking R.H.S.,

⇒ sin A + sin B + sin C

⇒ sin 60° + sin 60° + sin 60°

⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$

As L.H.S. ≠ R.H.S.

∴ Assertion (A) is false.

According to reason, in isosceles right angled triangle ABC, cos A + cos C = sin A + sin C.

An isosceles right-angled triangle has angles 45°, 45°, and 90°. In triangle ABC, the right angle is at B, so ∠B = 90°. Then the two equal angles are A = 45° and C = 45°.

Taking L.H.S.,

⇒ cos A + cos C

⇒ cos 45° + cos 45°

⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

⇒ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$

Taking R.H.S.,

⇒ sin A + sin C

⇒ sin 45° + sin 45°

⇒ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

⇒ $\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$

As L.H.S. = R.H.S.

∴ Reason (R) is true.

∴ Assertion (A) is false, Reason (R) is true.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
