Find the values of the following trigonometric ratios :

A

`cos225^@`

B

`sin 690^@`

C

`tan(-390^@)`

D

`sec 855^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) For angle `225^@`, terminal side of angle lies in third quadrant where cosine function is negative.
`:. cos225^@=cos(90^@xx2+45^@)=-cos45^@=-1/sqrt2`
(ii) For angle `690^@`, terminal side of angle lies in fourth quadrant where side function is negative.
`:. sin690^@=sin(90^@xx7+60^@)=-cos60^@=-1/2`
(iii) For angle `390^@`, terminal side of angle lies in first quadrant where tan function is positive.
`:. tan-390^@)=-tan390^@`
`=-tan(90^(@)xx4+30^@)`
`=-tan30^@=-1/sqrt3`
(iv) For angle `855^@`, terminal side of angle lies in second quadrant where secant is negative.
`:. sec885^@=sec(90^@xx9+45^@)=-sec45^@=-sqrt2`
