    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
