angle pqr right angle isosceles triangle right angled at R find value of sin p
Answers
Answer:
sin p=1/√2
Step-by-step explanation:
pqr is a right angled isosceles triangle therefore each angle QPR and pqr are of 45° sin 45°=1/√2
Answer: 1/√2
Step-by-step explanation:
∆ PQR is given as a right-angled isosceles triangle where angle R = 90° as shown in the figure attached below.
Since the triangle PQR is isosceles, therefore,
PR = QR …… [∵ sides of an isosceles triangle are of equal length]
∴ ∠RQP = ∠QPR …. [∵ angles opposite to equal sides are equal] …. (i)
In ∆ PQR, using the angle sum property, we get
∠R + ∠RQP + ∠QPR = 180°
⇒90° + ∠RQP + ∠QPR = 180°
⇒ 90° + 2 * (∠RQP) = 180° ….. [from (i)]
⇒ 2 * (∠RQP) = 180° - 90° = 90°
⇒ angle RQP = 90° / 2 = 45°
∴ angle RQP = angle QPR = 45°
Thus,
The value for sin P where angle P = 45° is,
= sin 45°
= 1/√2
