Question
In a ΔABC, ∠A = 90°. If tan C =`sqrt3`, then find the value of sin B + cos C − cos2 B.
Sum
Solution
tan C = `sqrt3`
tan C = tan 60°
C = 60°
A + B + C = 180° ...[Sum of Angle in a triangle]
B = 30°
Now, sin B + cos C − cos2 B
⇒ sin 30° + cos 60° − cos2 30°
⇒ `1/2 + 1/2 − (sqrt3/2)^2`
⇒ `1 − 3/4`
⇒ `1/4`
