Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Trigonometry Ex 6.4
Question 1.
Find the value of the following:
(i) sin 49°
(ii) cos 74° 39′
(iii) tan 54° 26′
(iv) sin 21° 21′
(v) cos 33° 53′
(vi) tan 70° 17′
Solution:
(i) sin 49° = 0.7547
(ii) cos 74° 39′ = cos 74° 39′ + 3′
From the table we get,
cos 74° 36′ = 0.2656
Mean difference of 3 = 8
cos 74° 39′ = 0.2656 – 8
= 0.2648
(iii) tan 54° 26′ = tan 54° 24′
tan 54° 24′ = 1.3968
Mean difference of 2 = 17
tan 54° 26’ = 1.3968 + 17
= 1.3985
(iv) sin 21° 21′ = sin 21° 18’+ 3’
sin 21° 18’ = 0.3633
Mean difference of 3 = 8(+)
sin 21° 21′ = 0.3633 + 8
= 0.3641
(v) cos 33° 53′ = cos 33° 48’ + 5′
cos 33° 48′ = 0.8310
Mean difference of 5 = 8
cos 33° 53′ = 0.8310 – 8
= 0.8302
(vi) tan 70° 17′ = tan 70° 12’+ 5’
tan 70° 12′ = 2. 7776
Mean difference of 5 = 131
tan 70° 17′ = 2. 7776 + 131
= 2.7907
Question 2.
Find the value of θ if
(i) sin θ = 0.9975
(ii) cos θ = 0.6763
(iii) tan θ = 0.0720
(iv) cos θ = 0.0410
(v) tan θ = 7.5958
Solution:
(i) sin θ = 0.9975
From the table we get,
= 0.9974 + 0.0001
= 85° 54′ + 1′
= 85° 55′ (or) 85° 56′ (or) 85° 57
(ii) cos θ = 0.6763
= 0. 6769 – 0.0006′
= 47° 24′ + 3′
= 47° 27
(iii) tan θ = 0. 0720
= 0. 0717 + 0.0003
= 4° 6′ + 1′
= 4° 7′
(iv) cos θ = 0.0410
= 0.0419 – 0.0009
= 87° 36′ + 3′
= 87° 39′
(v) tan θ = 7. 5958
= 7. 5958 + 0 (from the natural table)
= 82° 30′ (tangent table)
Question 3.
Find the value of the following:
(i) sin 65° 39′ + cos 24° 57’ + tan 10° 10′
(ii) tan 70° 58′ + cos 15° 26′ – sin 84° 59′
Solution:
(i) sin 65° 39′ = 0.9111
cos 24° 57′ = 0.9066
tan 10° 10′ = 0.1793
sin 65° 39′ + cos 24° 57′ + tan 10° 10′
= 0.9111 + 0.9066 + 0.1793
= 1.9970
sin 65° 39′ + cos 24° 57′ + tan 10° 10′ = 1.9970
(ii) tan 70° 58′ = 2. 8982
cos 15° 26′ = 0. 9639
sin 84° 59′ = 0.9962
tan 70° 58′ + cos 15° 26′ – sin 84° 59′
= 2. 8982 + 0. 9639 – 0.9962
= 3.8621 – 0.9962
= 2.8659
Question 4.
Find the area of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 cm and one of the acute angle is 24°24′.
Solution:
In the ΔABC,
sin 24° 24′ = \(\frac{AB}{AC}\)
0. 4131 = \(\frac{AB}{10}\)
∴ AB = 4.131 cm
In the ΔABC,
cos 24° 24′ = \(\frac{BC}{AC}\)
0.9107 = \(\frac{BC}{10}\)
∴ BC = 9.107 cm
Area of the right angle = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × BC × AB
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 9.107 × 4.131
= \(\frac{37.62}{2}\)
Area of the triangle = 18.81 cm²
Question 5.
Find the angle made by a ladder of length 5m with the ground, if one of its end is 4m away from the wall and the other end is on the wall.
Solution:
AC is the length of the ladder.
In the right ΔABC,
cos θ = \(\frac{BC}{AC}\)
cos θ = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
= 0.8
cos θ = 0.8000
θ = 36° 52′
Angle made by a ladder with the ground is 36° 52′
Question 6.
In the given figure, HT shows the height of a tree standing vertically. From a point P, the angle of elevation of the top of the tree (that is ∠P) measures 42° and the distance to the tree is 60 metres. Find the height of the tree.
Solution:
Let the height of the tree HT be “x”
In the ΔHTP,
tan 42° = \(\frac{HT}{PT}\)
0.9004 = \(\frac{x}{60}\)
x = 0.9004 × 60
= 54.024
The height of the tree = 54.02 m
