    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​​
