sin2θ = 1- cos2θ
= \(1-(\frac{35}{37})^2\)
= \((1-\frac{35}{37})(1+\frac{35}{37})\)
= \((\frac{37-35}{37})(\frac{37+35}{37})\)
= \((\frac{2}{37})(\frac{72}{37})\)
∴ sin2θ = \(\frac{2×2×36}{37×37}\) = \(\frac{2^2×6^2}{37^2}\)
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{2×6}{37}\) = \(\frac{12}{37}\)
tan θ = \(\frac{sin,θ}{cos,θ}\) = \(\frac{12/37}{35/37}\) = \(\frac{12}{35}\)
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{12}{37}\) , tan θ = \(\frac{12}{35}\)
(ii) sin θ = \(\frac{11}{61}\) , cos θ = ? , tan θ = ?
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1

= \(\frac{3721-121}{3721}\)
= \(\frac{3600}{3721}\)
= \((\frac{60}{61})^2\)

sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
\((\frac{8}{15})^2\)cos2θ + cos2θ = 1 ….[from (1)]
∴ \(\frac{64}{225}\)cos2θ + cos2θ = 1
∴ \(\frac{64\,cos^2θ+225\,cos^2θ}{225}\) = 1
∴ \(\frac{289\,cos^2θ}{225}\) = 1
∴ cos2θ = \(\frac{225}{289}\) = \((\frac{15}{17})^2\)

∴ cos2θ = 1 - \(\frac{9}{25}\) = \(\frac{25-9}{25}\) = \(\frac{16}{25}\)
∴ cos θ = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
tan θ = \(\frac{sin,θ}{cos,θ}\)
= \(\frac{3/5}{4/5}\)
= \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Question 2.2. Find the values of -
(i) 5sin 30° + 3tan 45°
sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\), tan 45° = 1
∴ 5sin 30° + 3tan 45° = 5 x \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 3 x 1
= \(\frac{5}{2}\) + 3
= \(\frac{5+6}{2}\)
= \(\frac{11}{2}\)
(ii) \(\frac{4}{5}\)tan260° + 3sin260°
sin 60° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), tan 60° = \(\sqrt{3}\)
∴ \(\frac{4}{5}\) tan260° + 3sin260° = \(\frac{4}{5}\)\((\sqrt{3})^2\) + 3 x \((\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^2\)
= \(\frac{12}{5}\) + \(\frac{9}{4}\)
= \(\frac{12×4+9×5}{20}\)
= \(\frac{93}{20}\)
(iii) 2sin 30° + cos 0° + 3sin 90°
sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\), cos 0° = 1, sin 90° = 1
∴ 2sin 30° + cos 0° + 3sin 90° = 2 x \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 1 + 3 x 1
= 1 + 1 + 3 = 5
(iv) \(\frac{tan\,60°}{sin\,60°+cos\,60°}\)
tan 60° = \(\sqrt{3}\), sin 60° = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), cos 60° = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ \(\frac{tan\,60°}{sin\,60°+cos\,60°}\) = \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{2}}\)
= \(\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}+1}}\)
(v) cos2 45° + sin2 30°
cos 45° = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\), sin 30° = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
cos2 45° + sin2 30° = \((\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2\) + \((\frac{1}{2})^2\)
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
(vi) cos 60° × cos 30° + sin 60° × sin 30°

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) + \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\) + \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\)
= \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
Question 2.3. If sin θ = \(\frac{4}{5}\) then find cos θ
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
\((\frac{4}{5})^2\) + cos2θ = 1

∴ cos2θ = 1 - \(\frac{16}{25}\) = \(\frac{25-16}{25}\) = \(\frac{9}{25}\)
∴ cos θ = \(\frac{3}{5}\)
Question 2.4. If cos θ = \(\frac{15}{17}\) then find sin θ
sin2θ + cos2θ = 1
∴ sin2θ + \((\frac{15}{17})^2\) = 1
∴ sin2θ + \(\frac{225}{289}\) = 1
∴ sin2θ = 1 - \(\frac{225}{289}\) = \(\frac{289-225}{289}\) = \(\frac{64}{289}\)
∴ sin θ = \(\frac{8}{17}\)

In right angled Δ TSU, by Pythagoras theorem,
TU2 = TS2 + SU2
= (5)2 + (12)2 = 25 + 144
∴ TU2 = 169 = (13)2
∴ TU = 13
(i) sin T = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ T}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ sin T = \(\frac{SU}{TU}\) = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
(ii) cos T = \(\frac{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ T}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ cos T = \(\frac{TS}{TU}\) = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
(iii) tan T = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ T}}{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ T}}\) ∴ tan T = \(\frac{SU}{TS}\) = \(\frac{12}{5}\)
(iv) sin U = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ U}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ sin U = \(\frac{TS}{TU}\) = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
(v) cos U = \(\frac{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ U}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ cos U = \(\frac{SU}{TU}\) = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
(vi) tan U = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ U}}{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ U}}\) ∴ tan U = \(\frac{TS}{SU}\) = \(\frac{5}{12}\)

In right angled Δ YXZ,
by Pythagoras theorem, ZY2 = XZ2 + XY2
∴ 172 = 82 + XY2
∴ 289 = 64 + XY2
∴ 289 - 64 = XY2
∴ XY2 = 225 = (15) 2
∴ XY = 15
(i) sin Y = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ Y}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ sin Y = \(\frac{XZ}{ZY}\) = \(\frac{8}{17}\)
(ii) cos Y = \(\frac{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ Y}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ cos Y = \(\frac{XY}{ZY}\) = \(\frac{15}{17}\)
(iii) tan Y = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ Y}}{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ Y}}\) ∴ tan Y = \(\frac{XZ}{XY}\) = \(\frac{8}{15}\)
(iv) sin Z = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ Z}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ sin Z = \(\frac{XY}{ZY}\) = \(\frac{15}{17}\)
(v) cos Z = \(\frac{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ Z}}{Hypotenuse}\) ∴ cos Z \(\frac{XZ}{ZY}\) = \(\frac{8}{17}\)
(vi) tan Z = \(\frac{\text{Opposite side of ∠ Z}}{\text{Adjacent side of ∠ Z}}\) ∴ tan Z = \(\frac{XY}{XZ}\) = \(\frac{15}{8}\)

cos θ = …..(1)
Let MN be 24k, then LN = 25k. …..(2)
In right angled A LMN, by Pythagoras theorem,
LN2 = LM2 + MN2
∴ (25k) 2 = LM2 + (24k) 2
∴ 625k2 = LM2 + 576k2
∴ 625k2 - 576k2 = LM2
∴ LM2 = 49k2 =(7k)2
∴ LM = 7k …..(3)
sin θ = \(\frac{LM}{LN}\) = \(\frac{7k}{25k}\) = \(\frac{7}{25}\) …..[from (2) and (3)]
tan θ = \(\frac{LM}{MN}\) = \(\frac{7k}{24k}\) = \(\frac{7}{24}\) …..[from (2) and (3)]
sin2 θ = \((\frac{7}{25})^2\) = \(\frac{49}{625}\)
