Question
Question: Evaluate each of the following: i) \(\sin {30^ \circ } + \cos {45^ \circ } + \tan {180^ \circ }\) ...
Evaluate each of the following:
i) sin30∘+cos45∘+tan180∘
ii) cosec45∘+cot45∘+tan0∘
iii) sin30∘×cos45∘×tan360∘
Solution
Write the values of the given trigonometric ratios, like, sin30∘=21, cos45∘=21 . then, substitute these values in the given expressions. Simplify the equations to find the value of a given expression.
Complete step-by-step answer:
In part (i), we have to find the value of sin30∘+cos45∘+tan180∘
We know that sin30∘=21, cos45∘=21 and tan180∘=tan(180∘−0)=−tan0=0
On substituting the values in part (i), we will get,
21+21+0=222+2=222(1+2)=21+2
In part (ii), we have to find the value of cosec45∘+cot45∘+tan0∘
We know that cosec45∘=2, cot45∘=1 and tan0∘=0
We will substitute the values in the equation, cosec45∘+cot45∘+tan0∘
2+1+0=2+1
In part (iii), we will find the value of sin30∘×cos45∘×tan360∘
Again, we have sin30∘=21, cos45∘=21 and tan360∘=tan(360∘−0)=−tan0=0
On substituting the values in part (iii), we will get,
21×21×0=0
Note: For these types of questions, a student must know the values of trigonometric ratios of certain angles. The value of the angles that lies in the first quadrant is positive for all ratios, in second quadrant sine and cosecant value is positive, in third quadrant tangent and cotangent value is positive, and in fourth quadrant, value of cosine and secant is positive.
