    Question

    ∆ ABC is a right-angle triangle at B. If tan A = 5/12, then sin A + sin B + sin C will be equal to:

    A.


    B.


    C.


    D.

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    tan A = 5/12

    Formula Used:

    sin A = oppositehypotenuse\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}​,  sin B = 1 (since angle B = 90°), sin C =  adjacenthypotenuse\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}​​

    Solution:

    The hypotenuse using Pythagoras theorem.

    Hypotenuse=52+122=25+144=169=13Hypotenuse = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2}= \sqrt{25 + 144} = \sqrt{169} = 13​​
