Question
Evaluate the following
sin2 30° + sin2 45° + sin2 60° + sin2 90°
Advertisements
Solution
sin2 30° + sin2 45° + sin2 60° + sin2 90° .....(1)
`sin 30^@ = 1/2 sin 45^@ = 1/sqrt2`
`sin 60^@ = sqrt3/2 sin 90^@ = 1`
By substituting above values in (i), we get
`= [1/2]^2 + [1/sqrt2]^2 + [sqrt3/2]^2 + [1]^2`
`= 1/4 + 1/2 + 3/4 + 1 => (1 + 3)/4 + (1 + 2)/2`
`=> 1 + 3/2 = (2 + 3)/2 = 5/2`

In ΔABC, ∠ABC = 90° and ∠ACB = θ. Then write the ratios of sin θ and tan θ from the figure.

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
= `square/square + square/square` ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`
= `(square + square)/(square xx square)` .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`
= `1/(square xx square)`
= `1/square xx 1/square`
= cosec θ·sec θ ......`[∵ "cosec" θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ
