Question
Question: \(\dfrac{{\sin {\rm{A}}}}{{\sin \left( {90^\circ - {\rm{A}}} \right)}} + {\rm{\;}}\dfrac{{\cos {\rm{...
sin(90∘−A)sinA+cos(90∘−A)cosA=sec(90∘−A)cosec(90∘−A)
Solution
Hint: In this question we have to prove the given expression so we have to first simplify the LHS part and use the identities sin(90∘−A)=cosA and cos(90∘−A)=sinA and then make use of identity sin2A+cos2A=1 to get the RHS part.
Complete step-by-step answer:
We have to prove LHS = RHS
Now,
LHS = sin(90∘−A)sinA+cos(90∘−A)cosA
As we know that, sin(90∘−A)=cosA and cos(90∘−A)=sinA
LHS = cosAsinA+sinAcosA
Taking LCM, we get
LHS = sinAcosAsin2A+cos2A
From trigonometric identity, sin2A+cos2A=1
LHS = sinAcosA1=cosecAsecA
As we know that sec(90∘−A)=cosecA and cosec(90∘−A)=secA
LHS = sec(90∘−A)cosec(90∘−A) = RHS
Note: Whenever we face such types of questions we need to use the standard identities of trigonometry in order to get the LHS part equal to the RHS part.
