Question

Find the values for θ that make each statement true. a. sinθ=cos32 b. cosθ=sin(θ+20).

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 58

b. 35

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Given,

sinθ = cos 32

We know that cos x = sin (90 - x)

⇒ sin θ = sin (90 - 32)

⇒ sin θ = sin 58

⇒ θ = 58

Thus, the value of θ would be 58.

b. Given,

cosθ = sin(θ+20),

sin (90 - θ) = sin (θ + 20)

⇒ 90 - θ = θ + 20

⇒ 90 - 20 = θ + θ

⇒ 70 = 2θ

⇒ θ = 35

Thus, the value of θ would be 35.
