8. Introduction to Trigonometry
easy
$\cos \theta=\frac{b}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}} ;$ where, $0<\theta<90 ;$ then $\sin \theta=\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$
A
$\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$
B
$\frac{a}{b}$
C
$\frac{b}{a}$
D
$\frac{a b}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$
Solution
$\sin ^{2} \theta=1-\cos ^{2} \theta=1-\frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=\frac{\left(a^{2}+b^{2}\right)-b^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}=\frac{a^{2}}{a^{2}+b^{2}}$
$\therefore \sin \theta=\frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}}$
