Question

In a triangle ∆ABC, the ∠ABC = 90°. If sin(A) = 12\frac{1}{2}​, then cos(C) is equal to:

A.

12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

B.

1

C.

32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

D.

12\frac12​​

Correct option is D

Concept Used:

Sum of all angles in triangle is 180°180\degree 

Solution:

So, ∠ABC = 90° and sin(A) = 12\frac12 

​sin(A) = 12\frac12 

sin A = sin 30°\degree

A = 30°\degree 

In Triangle ABC, the sum of all angles be 180°\degree 

So, \angleC = 180°[A+B]=180°[30+90]=60°180\degree - [\angle A+\angle B]= 180\degree -[30+ 90]= 60\degree 

So, cosC = cos60°=1260\degree = \frac 12​​
