Question

Let sin(45°)=0.7071.Enter the angle measure (μ), in degrees for cos(μ)=−0.7071.

Answer 1

Given :

Let sin(45°)=0.7071.

To Find :

The angle measure (μ), in degrees for cos(μ)=−0.7071 and value equivalent to 360n + , where n is an integer .

Solution :

We know , value of sin x and cos x is same at x = 45° .

Now , cos (-x) = cos(90°+x)

Therefore , μ in given question is :

μ =90°+45°

μ=135°

So , for angle of type 360°n + :

μ = 360°n + 135° .

Hence , this is the required solution .
