Question
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`

∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`
But `"AB"/"AC" = bbunderline(sintheta) and "BC"/"AC" = bbunderline(costheta)`
∴ `sin^2 theta + cos^2 theta = bbunderline1`
