Question
If `cos θ = 24/25`, then sin θ = ?
Advertisements
Solution
`cos θ = 24/25` ...[Given]
We know that,
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
∴ `sin^2θ + (24/25)^2 = 1`
∴ `sin^2θ + 576/625 = 1`
∴ `sin^2θ = 1 - 576/625`
∴ `sin^2θ = (625 - 576)/625`
∴ `sin^2θ = 49/625`
∴ `sin θ = 7/25` ...[Taking square root of both sides]
