In a right angled triangle the hypotenuse is `2sqrt(2)` times the perpendicular drawn from the opposite vertex. Then the other acute angles of the triangle are (a)`pi/3a n dpi/6` (b) `pi/8a n d(3pi)/8` (c) `pi/4a n dpi/4` (d) `pi/5a n d(3pi)/(10)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We can create a right angle traigle `ABC` with the given details.
Please refer to video to see the diagram.
Let the length of the perpendicular drawn from `B` to `AC` is `p`.
Then, `AC = 2sqrt2p`
`BC = psec theta`
`AB = pcosec theta`
Now, `AB^2+BC^2 = AC^2`
`=> p^2cosec^2theta +p^2sec^2 theta = (2sqrt2p)^2`
