Answer» If we consider any right angled triangle ADB, we havebase=BD=a, perpendicular=AD=√3a, hypotenuse=AB=2a and∠ABD=60° tan60°=AD/BD=√3a/a=√3. The values of the trig functions of 30° and 60° can be written like this:(15) sin 30° = ½, sin 60° = (√3)/2. cos 30° = (√3)/2, cos 60° = ½ 1/2 answer is the right answer

Answer»

If we consider any right angled triangle ADB, we havebase=BD=a,

perpendicular=AD=√3a,

hypotenuse=AB=2a and∠ABD=60°

tan60°=AD/BD=√3a/a=√3.

The values of the trig functions of 30° and 60° can be written like this:(15) sin 30° = ½, sin 60° = (√3)/2. cos 30° = (√3)/2, cos 60° = ½

1/2 answer is the right answer
