Solve sin2 x cos2 x 1Solutionin a rightr angled triangle w
Solve sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1
Solution
in a rightr angled triangle we have
sin(x) = Perpandicular/hypotenuse = P/H
cos(x) = Base/hypotenuse = B/H
sin2(x) + cos2(x) = (P/H)2 + (B/H)2 = (P2 + B2)/H2
using pythagoras theorem, P2 + B2 = H2
=> sin2(x) + cos2(x) = H2/H2
=> sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1 (proved)
sin(x) = Perpandicular/hypotenuse = P/H
