Trigonometry chapter class 10 ncert solutions Excercise: 8.1

Q1 In \Delta \: ABC , right-angled at B, AB = 24 \: cm , BC = 7 \: cm . Determine : (i)\; \sin A, \cos A (ii)\; \sin C, \cos C

Answer:

1635935005859 We have,
In \Delta \: ABC , \angle B = 90, and the length of the base (AB) = 24 cm and length of perpendicular (BC) = 7 cm
So, by using Pythagoras theorem,
\\AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2\\ AC = \sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}
Therefore, AC = \sqrt{576+49}
AC = \sqrt{625}
AC = 25 cm

Now,
(i) \sin A = P/H = BC/AB = 7/25
\cos A = B/H = BA/AC = 24/25

(ii) For angle C, AB is perpendicular to the base (BC). Here B indicates to Base and P means perpendicular wrt angle \angle C
So, \sin C = P/H = BA/AC = 24/25
and \cos C = B/H = BC/AC = 7/25

Q2 In Fig. 8.13, find \tan P - \cot R .

1635935041656

Answer:


We have, \Delta PQR is a right-angled triangle, length of PQ and PR are 12 cm and 13 cm respectively.
So, by using Pythagoras theorem,
QR = \sqrt{13^2-12^2}
QR = \sqrt{169-144}
QR = \sqrt{25} = 5\ cm

Now, According to question,
\tan P -\cot R = \frac{RQ}{QP}-\frac{QR}{PQ}
= 5/12 - 5/12 = 0

Q3 If \sin A=\frac{3}{4}, calculate \cos A and \tan A .

Answer:

Suppose \Delta ABC is a right-angled triangle in which \angle B = 90^0 and we have \sin A=\frac{3}{4},
So,
1635935058122

Let the length of AB be 4 unit and the length of BC = 3 unit So, by using Pythagoras theorem,
AB = \sqrt{16-9} = \sqrt{7} units
Therefore,
\cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4} and \tan A = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{7}}

Q4 Given 15 \: \cot A=8, find \sin A and \sec A .

Answer:

We have,
15 \: \cot A=8, \Rightarrow \cot A =8/15
It implies that In the triangle ABC in which \angle B =90^0 . The length of AB be 8 units and the length of BC = 15 units

Now, by using Pythagoras theorem,
AC = \sqrt{64 +225} = \sqrt{289}
\Rightarrow AC =17 units

So, \sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{15}{17}
and \sec A = \frac{AC}{AB} = \frac{17}{8}

Q5 Given \sec \theta =\frac{13}{12}, calculate all other trigonometric ratios.

Answer:

We have,
\sec \theta =\frac{13}{12},

It means the Hypotenuse of the triangle is 13 units and the base is 12 units.
Let ABC is a right-angled triangle in which \angle B is 90 and AB is the base, BC is perpendicular height and AC is the hypotenuse.

1635935082533 By using Pythagoras theorem,
BC = \sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}
BC = 5 unit

Therefore,
\sin \theta = \frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{5}{13}
\cos \theta = \frac{BA}{AC}=\frac{12}{13}

\tan \theta = \frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{5}{12}

\cot \theta = \frac{BA}{BC}=\frac{12}{5}

\sec \theta = \frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{13}{12}

\csc \theta = \frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{13}{5}

Q6 If \angle A and \angle B are acute angles such that \cos A = \cos B , then show that \angle A =\angle B .

Answer:

We have, A and B are two acute angles of triangle ABC and \cos A =\cos B

sdfgjhkjhdcgv According to question, In triangle ABC,
\cos A =\cos B


\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{BC}{AB}
\Rightarrow AC = AB
Therefore, \angle A = \angle B [angle opposite to equal sides are equal]

Q7 If \cot \theta =\frac{7}{8}, evaluate: (i)\; \frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)} (ii)\; \cot ^{2}\theta

Answer:

Given that,
\cot \theta =\frac{7}{8}
\therefore perpendicular (AB) = 8 units and Base (AB) = 7 units
Draw a right-angled triangle ABC in which \angle B =90^0
Now, By using Pythagoras theorem,
AC^2 = AB^2+BC^2
AC = \sqrt{64 +49} =\sqrt{113}

So, \sin \theta = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{113}}
and \cos \theta = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{113}}

\Rightarrow \cot \theta =\frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta} = \frac{7}{8}
(i)\; \frac{(1+\sin \theta)(1-\sin \theta)}{(1+\cos \theta)(1-\cos \theta)}
\Rightarrow \frac{(1-\sin^2\theta)}{(1-\cos^2\theta)} = \frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta} = \cot ^2\theta
=(\frac{7}{8})^2 = \frac{49}{64}

(ii)\; \cot ^{2}\theta
=(\frac{7}{8})^2 = \frac{49}{64}

Q8 If 3\cot A=4, check wether \frac{1-\tan ^{2}A}{1+\tan ^{2}A}=\cos ^{2}A-\sin ^{2}A or not.

Answer:

Given that,
3\cot A=4,
\Rightarrow \cot = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{base}{perp.}
ABC is a right-angled triangle in which \angle B =90^0 and the length of the base AB is 4 units and length of perpendicular is 3 units
1635935097081

By using Pythagoras theorem, In triangle ABC,
\\AC^2=AB^2+BC^2\\ AC = \sqrt{16+9}\\ AC = \sqrt{25}
AC = 5 units

So,
\tan A = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{3}{4}
\cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{4}{5}
\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{3}{5}
\frac{1-\tan ^{2}A}{1+\tan ^{2}A}=\cos ^{2}A-\sin ^{2}A
Put the values of above trigonometric ratios, we get;
\Rightarrow \frac{1-9/4}{1+9/4} = \frac{16}{25}-\frac{9}{25}
\Rightarrow -\frac{5}{13} \neq \frac{7}{25}
LHS \neq RHS

Q9 In triangle ABC , right-angled at B , if \tan A =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}, find the value of:

(i) \sin A\: \cos C + \cos A\: \sin C
(ii) \cos A\: \cos C + \sin A\: \sin C

Answer:

Given a triangle ABC, right-angled at B and \tan A =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow A=30^0

FireShot%20Capture%20151%20-%20Careers360%20CMS%20-%20cms-articles%20-%20learn According to question, \tan A =\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{BC}{AB}
By using Pythagoras theorem,
\\AC^2 = AB^2+BC^2\\ AC = \sqrt{1+3} =\sqrt{4}
AC = 2
Now,
\\\sin A = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{1}{2}\\ \sin C =\frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\ \cos A = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\ \cos C = \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore,

(i) \sin A\: \cos C + \cos A\: \sin C
\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\ \Rightarrow1/4 +3/4\\ \Rightarrow4/4 = 1

(ii) \cos A\: \cos C + \sin A\: \sin C
\\\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}


Q10 In \Delta \: PQR , right-angled at Q , PR + QR = 25\: cm and PQ = 5 \: cm . Determine the values of \sin P, \cos P \: and\: \tan P.

Answer:

sdfghjkdfghj We have, PR + QR = 25 cm.............(i)
PQ = 5 cm
and \angle Q =90^0
According to question,
In triangle \Delta PQR,
By using Pythagoras theorem,
\\PR^2 = PQ^2+QR^2\\ PQ^2 =PR^2-QR^2 \\ 5^2= (PR-QR)(PR+QR)\\ 25 = 25(PR-QR) \\
PR - QR = 1........(ii)

From equation(i) and equation(ii), we get;
PR = 13 cm and QR = 12 cm.

therefore,
\\\sin P= \frac{QR}{PR}= 12/13\\ \cos P = \frac{PQ}{RP} = 5/13\\ \therefore \tan P = \frac{\sin P}{\cos P} = 12/5

\\\Rightarrow 90 - 4A = A - 20\\\\ \Rightarrow 5A=110\\\\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{110}{5}\\\:\\ \Rightarrow A=22^o

Q6 If A,B and C are interior angles of a triangle ABC , then show that

\sin (\frac{B+C}{2})= \cos \frac{A}{2}

Answer:

Given that,
A, B and C are interior angles of \Delta ABC
To prove - \sin (\frac{B+C}{2})= \cos \frac{A}{2}

Now,
In triangle \Delta ABC ,
A + B + C = 180^0
\Rightarrow B + C = 180 - A
\Rightarrow B + C/2 = 90^0 - A/2
\sin \frac{B+C}{2}=\sin (90^0-A/2)
\sin \frac{B+C}{2}=\cos A/2
Hence proved.

Hello Aspirant,  Hope your doing great,  your question was incomplete and regarding  what exam your asking.

Yes, scoring above 80% in ICSE Class 10 exams typically meets the requirements to get into the Commerce stream in Class 11th under the CBSE board . Admission criteria can vary between schools, so it is advisable to check the specific requirements of the intended CBSE school. Generally, a good academic record with a score above 80% in ICSE 10th result is considered strong for such transitions.

hello Zaid,

Yes, you can apply for 12th grade as a private candidate .You will need to follow the registration process and fulfill the eligibility criteria set by CBSE for private candidates.If you haven't given the 11th grade exam ,you would be able to appear for the 12th exam directly without having passed 11th grade. you will need to give certain tests in the school you are getting addmission to prove your eligibilty.

best of luck!

According to cbse norms candidates who have completed class 10th, class 11th, have a gap year or have failed class 12th can appear for admission in 12th class.for admission in cbse board you need to clear your 11th class first and you must have studied from CBSE board or any other recognized and equivalent board/school.

You are not eligible for cbse board but you can still do 12th from nios which allow candidates to take admission in 12th class as a private student without completing 11th.
