in a right triangle of abc , sin^A + sin^B + sin ^C is ------------------. mates
, please find it soon . I have the exam
Answers
Answer:
Let the triangle ABC has the angle B as 90° .
When A and C are acute angles ( less than 90° ) we know by trigonometric relations that :
sin²A + cos²A = 1
sin²C + cos²C = 1
[ Proof : Take random value of A as 1/√2 when A = 45 .
( 1/√2 )² + ( 1/√2 )²
⇒ 1/2 + 1/2
⇒ 1 ]
Now in Δ ABC , we have :
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180
This is according to angle sum property which states that :-
Angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees .
We know that ∠B = 90° .
Hence :
∠A + ∠C + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠C = 90°
⇒ ∠A = 90° - ∠C
Now put the values we have got earlier :
sin²A + sin²B + sin²C
⇒ sin²A + sin²( 90 - C ) + sin² ( 90 )
By trigonometry we know sin 90 = 1 , also we know that sin² ( 90 - C ) = cos²A
We also know that sin²A + cos²A = 1 as proved earlier :
⇒ sin²A + cos²A + 1²
⇒ 1 + 1
⇒ 2
Hence the value will be 2 .
OPTION A is correct .
