The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \cos(A - B) \) in a right triangle \( ABC \) where \( C \) is the right angle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: We have a right triangle \( ABC \) with \( \angle C = 90^\circ \). The angles \( A \) and \( B \) are the other two angles in the triangle. 2. **Using the Angle Sum Property**: The sum of angles in a triangle is \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can write: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Since \( C = 90^\circ \), we have: \[ A + B = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ \] This implies: \[ B = 90^\circ - A \] 3. **Substituting for \( B \)**: Now, we can substitute \( B \) in the expression for \( \cos(A - B) \): \[ \cos(A - B) = \cos(A - (90^\circ - A)) = \cos(A - 90^\circ + A) = \cos(2A - 90^\circ) \] 4. **Using the Cosine of a Difference**: We can use the cosine subtraction formula: \[ \cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos B + \sin A \sin B \] Substituting \( B = 90^\circ - A \): \[ \cos(A - B) = \cos A \cos(90^\circ - A) + \sin A \sin(90^\circ - A) \] 5. **Using Trigonometric Identities**: We know that: \[ \cos(90^\circ - A) = \sin A \quad \text{and} \quad \sin(90^\circ - A) = \cos A \] Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ \cos(A - B) = \cos A \cdot \sin A + \sin A \cdot \cos A \] This simplifies to: \[ \cos(A - B) = 2 \cos A \sin A \] 6. **Using the Double Angle Identity**: We can use the double angle identity for sine: \[ 2 \cos A \sin A = \sin(2A) \] Thus, we have: \[ \cos(A - B) = \sin(2A) \] ### Final Result: The value of \( \cos(A - B) \) is: \[ \cos(A - B) = \sin(2A) \]
