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.
