Question

In a triangle, right angled at B, AB = 12 cm and BC = 5 cm. what will be the value of 

(i) sinAcosA

(ii) sinCcosC respectively?

A.

26169,25169\frac{26}{169} , \frac{25}{169}​​

B.

25169,60169\frac{25}{169} , \frac{60}{169}​​

C.

60169,60169\frac{60}{169} , \frac{60}{169}​​

D.

60169,25169\frac{60}{169} , \frac{25}{169}​​

Correct option is C

Given:

In a triangle, right angled at B,

AB = 12 cm

BC = 5 cm.

Concept used:

Pythagoras Theorem rule;

H2=P2+B2H^2 = P^2 + B^2  

Sinθ= Height  Hypotenuse Cosθ= Base  Hypotenuse \begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} \theta=\frac{\text { Height }}{\text { Hypotenuse }} \\& \operatorname{Cos} \theta=\frac{\text { Base }}{\text { Hypotenuse }}\end{aligned}​​

Solution:

 Thus, AC=122+52=13 cmSinA=513CosA=1213\begin{aligned}&\text { Thus, } \mathrm{AC}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=13 \mathrm{~cm}\\&\begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} A=\frac{5}{13} \\& \operatorname{Cos} A=\frac{12}{13}\end{aligned}\end{aligned}​​

 Hence, SinACosA=60169\text { Hence, } \operatorname{Sin} A\cdot \operatorname{Cos} A=\frac{60}{169}

SinC=1213CosC=513\begin{aligned}& \operatorname{Sin} C=\frac{12}{13} \\& \operatorname{Cos} C=\frac{5}{13}\end{aligned}​​

Hence, Sin C.Cos C = 60169\frac{60}{169}

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
