    Question

    If x = r sinA cosC, y = r sinA sinC and z = r cosA, then find the value of x2+y2+z2\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+\text{z}^2​​

    A.

    r2\text{r}^2​​

    B.

    2r

    C.

    2r22\text{r}^2​​

    D.

    0

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    If x = r sinA cosC, y = r sinA sinC and z = r cosA,

    then x2+y2+z2\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+\text{z}^2

    Formula Used:

    sin2θ+cos2θ=1sin^2\theta + cos^2 \theta =1

    Solution:

    x2+y2+z2\text{x}^2+\text{y}^2+\text{z}^2= (r sinA cosC)2+ (r sinA sinC)2+  (r cosA)2

    =r2sin2A cos2C + r2​ sin2A sin2C + r2cos2A

    =r2sin2A{cos2C +  sin2C}+ r2cos2A

    =r2sin2A{1}+ r2cos2A

    =r2{sin2A+ cos2A}

    =r2{1}= r2

    Option (A) is right.
