Question

If sin (A + B) = 1 and cos (A − B) = 1, 0° < A + B ≤ 90°, A ≥ B find A and B.

Answer 1

Given:

…… (1)

…… (2)

We know that,

…… (3)

…… (4)

Now by comparing equation (1) and (3)

We get,

…… (5)

Now by comparing equation (2) and (4)

We get,

…… (6)

Now to get the values of A and B, let us solve equation (5) and (6) simultaneously

Therefore by adding equation (5) and (6)

We get,

Therefore,

Hence

Now by subtracting equation (6) from equation (5)

We get,

Therefore,

Hence

Therefore the values of A and B are as follows
