उत्तर १
We are given the following triangle with related information
It is required to find ∠A, ∠C and length of sides AC and BC
ΔABC is right angled at C
Therefore,
`∠C = 90^@`
Now we know that sum of all the angles of any triangle is `180^@`
Therefore
`∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180^@`
Now by substituting the values of known angles and in equation (1)
We get,
`∠A + 60^@ + 90^2 = 180^@`
Therefore
`∠A + 150^@ = 180^@`
`=> ∠A = 180^@ - 150^@`
`=> ∠A = 30^@`
Therefore,
`∠A = 30^@`
Now
We know that,
`cos B = cos 60^@`
`=> (BC)/(AB) = cos 60^@`
Now we have,
AB =15 units and `cos 60^@ = 1/2`
Therefore by substituting above values in equation (2)
We get,
`cos B = cos 60^@`
`=> (BC)/(AB) = cos 60^@`
`=> (BC)/15 = 1/2`
Now by cross multiplying we get,
`(BC)/15 = 1/2`
`=> 2 xx BC = 15 xx 1`
`=> BC = 15/2`
=> BC = 7.5
Therefore
BC = 7.5 units ....(3)
Now
We know that
`sin B = sin 60^@`
`=> (AC)/(AB) = sin 60^@` .........(4)
Now
We know that,
AB=15 units and

Now
We know that
`sin B = sin 60^@`
`=> (AC)/(AB) = sin 60^@` .........(4)
Now
We know that,
`AB=15 units and sin 60^@ = sqrt3/2`
Therefore by substituting above values in equation (4)
We get,
`sin B = sin 60^@`
`=> (AC)/(AB) = sin 60^@`
`=> (AC)/15 = sqrt3/2`
Now by cross multiplying we get,
`=> 2 xx AC = sqrt3 xx 15`
`=> AC = (sqrt3 x 15)/2`
`=> AC = 15/2 sqrt3`
Therefore,
AC = 15/2 sqrt3` units`
Hence
`A = 30^@`
`BC = 7.5untis`
`AC = 15/2 sqrt3` units
