Question

If sin 3a equals to cos a minus 26 where 3a is an acute angle find the value of a

Answer 1

sin3a=cosa-26
sin3a=cos (90-a)-26
sin3a=sina-26
a=13
I hope this is helpful if so mark as brainliest answer plzzz

Answer 2

Answer:

$Given, \: \sin(3A) = \cos(A - {26}^{o} ) \: \: \: \: \: \: ...........(i) \\ where, \: 3A \: is \: an \: acute \: angle. \\ We \: know \: that, \: \: sin ϑ  = cos( {90}^{o} -  ϑ ) \\ From \: Eq. \: (i), \: cos( {90}^{o} - 3A) = cos(A - 26) \\ Since, \: ( {90}^{o} - 3A) \: and \: (A - {26}^{o} ) \: both \: are \: acute \: angles. \\ ∴ \: {90}^{o} -3A = A - {26}^{o} \\ ➪ \: 4A = {116}^{o} \\ ➪ \: A = \frac{ {116}^{o} }{4} \\ ➪ \: A = {29}^{o}$
