Solution
Given: cos θ = `12/13`
To prove: sin θ (1 – tan θ) = `35/156`
Proof: We know, cos θ = `B/H`
where the right-angled triangle’s base is B and its hypotenuse is H. ∠ACB = 8 is achieved by building a right triangle ABC at a right angle to B.
AB is perpendicular, BC = 12 is base, and AC = 13 is hypotenuse.
According to Pythagoras theorem, we have
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
132 = AB2 + 122
169 = AB2 + 144
169 – 144 = AB2
25 = AB2
AB = `sqrt25`
AB = 5
sin θ = `P/H = 5/13`
So, tan θ = `P/H = 5/12`
Put the values in sin θ (1 – tan θ) to find its value,
sin θ (1 – tan θ) = `15/3 (1 - 5/12)`
= `5/13 xx 7/12`
= `35/156`
Hence Proved.
