Question

In ∆ OPQ, right-angled at P, OP = 7 cm and OQ-PQ=1 cm. Determine the values of sin Q+ cos Q.

A.

13/25

B.

21/25

C.

31/25

D.

33/25

Correct option is C

In ΔOPQ, right-angled at P, OP = 7 cm and OQ - PQ = 1 cm.
Formula used
sin Q = P/H and cos Q = B/H
then
Since it is a right-angled triangle,
OQ2 = OP2 + PQ2
 OQ2 – PQ2 = OP2
(OQ - PQ)(OQ + PQ) = 72
(1)(OQ + PQ) = 72
 (OQ + PQ) = 49
OQ = (49 + 1)/2 = 25
PQ = (49 - 1)/2 = 24
sin Q = P/H = 7/25
cos Q = B/H = 24/25
sin Q + cos Q = 7/25 + 24/25 = 31/25
