Question

In the given figure, ∠PQR = 90°, ∠PQS = 90°, ∠PRQ = α and ∠QPS = θ Write the following trigonometric ratios.

  1. sin α, cos α, tan α
  2. sin θ, cos θ, tan θ

Sum

Solution

(i) In ∆PQR,

sin α = `"Opposite Side Of ∠PRQ"/"Hypotenuse"= "PQ"/"PR"`

cos α = `"Adjacent side of ∠PRQ"/"Hypotenuse" = "RQ"/"PR"`

tan α = `"Opposite side of ∠PRQ"/"Adjacent side of ∠PRQ" = "PQ"/"RQ"`

(ii) In ∆PQS,

sin θ = `"Opposite Side Of θ "/"Hypotenuse" = "QS"/"PS"`

cos θ = `"Adjacent side of θ"/"Hypotenuse" = "PQ"/"PS"`

tan θ = `"Opposite side of θ"/"Adjacent side of θ" = "QS"/"PQ"`
