What is the exact value of cos 30° ?

Mathematics

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
8 0

Consider a ΔABC in which ∠ C = 90°, ∠A = 60° and ∠ B = 30°.

Side AB will be the hypotenuse.

cos 60° = AC / AB                 -------[ cos 60° = 1/2]

So, AB = 2 AC   -------------------------------(1)

Apply Pythagorean Theorem to find BC

AB² = BC² + AC²

4 AC² = BC² + AC²

So,  BC = √3 AC  ------------------------(2)

Now, we shall find the value of cos 30°

cos 30° = CB / AB

or,        =  √3 AC / 2 AC     -------using equations (1) and (2)

So,   cos 30° = √3 / 2

Hence, the exact value of

Since ∠A = 2∠B. So,  cos 30° will be √3 / 2

vovangra [49]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A = (3, 4) ; B = (7, 6)

In triangle ABCD, AB and BC are Perpendicular lines :

Slope AB = Rise / Run = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

y2 = 6 ; y1 = 4 ; x2 = 7 ; x1 = 3

Slope AB = (6 - 4) / (7 - 3) = 2 / 4 = 1 / 2

To obtain the slope of BC:

RECALL:

product of the slope of 2 Perpendicular lines = - 1

Slope AB * Slope BC = - 1

1 / 2 * slope BC = - 1

Slope BC = - 1 ÷ 1/2

Slope BC = - 1 * 2/1

Slope BC = - 2

HENCE, slope of BC = - 2
