Ex 8.1, 1 In ฮ ABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. Determine : sin A, cos A Step1 : Finding sides of triangle In right triangle ABC, Using Pythagoras theorem (Hypotenuse)2 = (Height)2 + (Base)2 AC2 = AB2 + BC2 AC2 = 242 + 72 AC2 = 576 + 49 AC2 = 625 AC = โ๐๐๐ AC = โ(25^2 ) AC = 25 Hence AC = 25 cm Step 2: Finding sin A , cos A sin A = (๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ โ ๐ด)/๐ป๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ = ๐ต๐ถ/๐ด๐ถ = ๐/๐๐ cos A = (๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ก๐ โ ๐ด)/๐ป๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ ๐ = ๐ด๐ต/๐ด๐ถ = ๐๐/๐๐ Ex 8.1, 1 In ฮ ABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm.
