प्रश्न
Without using a trigonometric table, prove that
`(cos 70°)/(sin 20°) + (cos 59°)/(sin 31°) - 8sin^2 30° = 0`.

उत्तर
We have,
LHS = `(cos 70°)/(sin 20°) + (cos 59°)/(sin 31°) - 8sin^2 30° = 0`.
= `cos(90° - 20°)/(sin 20°) + cos(90° - 31°)/(sin 31°) - 8 xx (1/2)^2`
= `(sin 20°)/(sin 20°) + (sin 31°) /(sin 31°) - 8 xx 1/4`
= 1 + 1 - 2
= 2 -2
= 0
= RHS
Hence proved.

Find the value of sin2θ + cos2θ

Solution:
In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°
AB2 + BC2 = `square` .....(Pythagoras theorem)
Divide both sides by AC2
`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`
∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = square`
