If tan A = cot B, prove that A + B = 90.
Solution : We have, tan A = cot B \(\implies\) tan A = tan(90 – B) \(\implies\) A = 90 – B \(\implies\) A + B = 90
If tan 2A = cot(A – 18), where 2A is an acute angle, find the value of A.
Solution : Given, tan 2A = cot(A – 18) \(\implies\) cot(90 – 2A) = cot(A – 18) \(\implies\) 90 – 2A = A – 18 \(\implies\) 3A = 108 \(\implies\) A = 36
Show that : (i) tan 48 tan 23 tan 42 tan 67 = 1 (ii) cos 38 cos 52 – sin 38 sin 52 = 0
Solution : (i) L.H.S = tan 48 tan 23 tan 42 tan 67 = \(1\over cot 48\). tan 23 tan 42 \(1\over cot 67\) = \(1\over cot (90 – 42)\). tan 23 tan 42 \(1\over cot (90 – 23)\) = \(1\over tan 42\). tan 23 tan 42 \(1\over tan 23\) = 1 = R.H.S. (ii) …

In \(\triangle\) PQR, right angled at Q, PR + QR = 25 cm and PQ = 5 cm. Determine the values of sin P, cos P and tan P.
Solution : We have, PQ = 5 cm PR + QR = 25 cm ………..(1) In triangle PQR, By Pythagoras Theorem, \({PR}^2\) = \({PQ}^2\) + \({QR}^2\) \(\implies\) \({PQ}^2\) = \({PR}^2\) – \({QR}^2\) \(\implies\) \({PQ}^2\) = (PR + QR)(PR – QR) \(\implies\) \(5^2\) = (PR – QR). 25 …
