### Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Chapter 6: Trigonometry Book Exercise 6.1 Questions and Solutions

Question 1: From the given figure, find all the trigonometric ratios of angle B.

Solution:

From the triangle ABC,

Hypotenuse (BC) = 41

Opposite (AC) = 9

sin B = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin B = AC / BC = 6 / 41

cos B = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos B = AB / BC = 40 / 41

tan B = Opposite / Adjacent

tan B = AC / AB = 6 / 40

cosec B = Hypotenuse / Opposite

cosec B = BC / AC = 41 / 6

sec B = Hypotenuse / Adjacent

sec B = BC / AB = 41 / 40

cot B = Adjacent / Opposite

cot B = AB / AC = 40 / 6

Question 2: From the given figure, find the values of

(i) sin B

(ii) sec B

(iii) cot B

(iv) cos C

(v) tan C

(vi) cosec C

Solution:

In ▵ABD,

AC2 = 122 + 162

AC2 = 144 + 256

AC = 20

(i) sin B = AD / AB

sin B = 12 / 13

(ii) sec B = AB / BD

sec B = 13 / 5

(iii) cot B = BD / AD

cot B = 5 / 12

(iv) cos C = DC / AC

cos C = 16 / 20 = 4 / 5

(v) tan C = AD / DC

tan C = 12 / 16 = 3 / 4

(vi) cosec C = AC / AD

cosec C = 20 / 12 = 5 / 3

Question 3: If 2 cosΘ = √3, then find all the trigonometric ratios of angle Θ.

Solution:

cos θ = √3 / 2 = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

(Opposite)2 = 22 – (√3)2 = 4 – 3

Opposite = 1

sin A = Opposite / Hypotenuse = 1 / 2

cos A = Adjacent / Hypotenuse = √3 / 2

tan A = Opposite / Adjacent = 1 / √3

cosec A = Hypotenuse / Opposite = 2 / 1

sec A = Hypotenuse / Adjacent = 2 / √3

cot A = Adjacent / Opposite = √3 / 1

Question 4: If cos A = 3 / 5, then find the value of (sin A – cos A) / 2 tan A

Solution:

cos A = 3/5 = Adjacent side / Hypotenuse side

(Opposite)2 = (Hypotenuse)2 – (Adjacent)2 = 52 – 32

(Opposite)2 = 25 – 9 = 16

Opposite = √16 = 4

sin A = opposite / hypotenuse = 4 / 5

tan A = opposite / adjacent

tan A = 4 / 3

(sin A – cos A) / 2 tan A = (4 / 5) – (3 / 5) / [2 (4 / 3)]

= (1 / 5) / (8 / 3)

= 3 / 40

Question 5: If cos A = (2x) / (1 + x2), then find the values of sin A and tan A in terms of x.

Solution:

cos A = 2x / (1 + x2) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Opposite2 = (1 + x2)2 – (2x)2

= 1 + x4 + 2x2 – 4x2

= 1 + x4 – 2x2

= (1 – x2)2

Opposite = 1 – x2

sin A = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin A = (1 – x2) / (1 + x2)

tan A = Opposite / Adjacent

tan A = (1 – x2) / 2x

Question 6: If sin θ = a / √a2 + b2, then show that b sin θ = a cos θ

Solution:

Given that, sin θ = a / √a2 + b2

sin θ = Opposite / Hypotenuse

(Adjacent)2 = (√a2 + b2)2 – (a)2

b sin θ = ab / √a2 + b2 —-(1)

cos θ = b / √a2 + b2

a cos θ = ab / √a2 + b2 —-(2)

(1) = (2)

Hence proved.

Question 7: If 3 cot A = 2, then find the value of (4 sin A – 3 cos A) / (2 sin A + 3 cos A)

Solution:

cot A = 2 / 3 = Adjacent / Opposite

(Hypotenuse)2 = 32 + 22

Hypotenuse = √13

sin A = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin A = 3 / √13

cos A = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

cos A = 2 / √13

(4 sin A – 3 cos A) / (2 sin A + 3 cos A) :

= [4 (3 / √13) – 3 (2 / √13)] / [2 (3 / √13) + 3 (2 / √13)]

= [(12 – 6) / √13] / [(6 + 6) / √13]

= 6 / 12

= 1 / 2

Question 8: If cos θ:sin θ = 1:2, then find the value of (8 cos θ – 2 sin θ) / (4 cos θ + 2 sin θ).

Solution:

cos θ : sin θ = 1 : 2

cos θ / sin θ = 1 / 2

cot θ = 1 / 2 = Adjacent / Opposite

(Hypotenuse)2 = (Opposite)2 + (Adjacent)2 = 12 + 22

(Hypotenuse)2 = 5

Hypotenuse = √5

sin θ = 1 / √5, cos θ = 2 / √5

(8 cos θ – 2 sin θ) / (4 cos θ + 2 sin θ)

= (8 / √5) – (4 / √5) / (4 / √5) + 2 (2 / √5)

= (4 / √5) / (8 / √5)

= 4 / 8

= 1 / 2

Question 9: From the given figure, prove that θ + Φ = 90°. Also, prove that there are two other right-angled triangles. Find sin a, cos β and tan Φ.

Solution:

In △ACD,

sin a = Opposite / Hypotenuse

sin a = DC / AC

sin a = 12 / 15 = 4 / 5

In △BDC,

cos β = Adjacent / Hypotenuse = DB / BC

cos β = 16 / 20 = 4 / 5

tan Φ = Opposite / Adjacent

tan Φ = DB / DC = 16 / 12 = 4 / 3

Question 10: A boy standing at a point O finds his kite flying at a point P with distance OP = 25m. It is at a height of 5m from the ground. When the thread is extended by 10m from P, it reaches a point Q. What will be the height QN of the kite from the ground? (use trigonometric ratios)

Solution:

In △OPM,

tan θ = PM / OP = 5 / 25 —(1)

tan θ = ON / (OP + PQ)

= h / (25 + 10)

= h / 35 —(2)

(1) = (2)

5 / 25 = h / 35

(1 / 5) (35) = h

h = 7

Question 4: Find the area of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 10cm and one of the acute angles is 24o24’.

Solution:

Hypotenuse of triangle = 10cm

Since it is a right angled triangle, the trigonometry identities can be applied.

Area of triangle = (1 / 2) * height * base

Find the height

sin Ф = height / hypotenuse

sin 24 = height / 10

height = 4.07 cm

Find the base

cos Ф = base / hypotenuse

cos 24 = base / 10

base = 9.135 cm

area of the triangle = (1 / 2) * (4.07) * (9.135)

Question 5: Find the angle made by a ladder of length 5m with the ground, if one of its ends is 4m away from the wall and the other end is on the wall.

Solution:

The ladder leaning on the wall forms a right-angled triangle.

Let the sides of the formed right-angled triangle be a, b and c.

a = height = the height of the wall

b = base = the distance between the ladder and the wall

c = the hypotenuse = the length of the ladder

Here,

C = 5m

b = 4m

Let the angle made by the ladder with the ground be O.

Since b is the adjacent side and c is the hypotenuse side, cosine is used.

Cos O = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

Cos O = 4 / 5

= 0.8

O = cos-1 of 0.8

= 40.97°

The angle that the ladder makes with the ground is 40.97°.

To find the value of length HT.

Let the length of the tree be x.

tan 42o = HT / HP
