Q. If cos B = 0.6, what is the value of sin B?
-
A.
0.8
-
B.
0.6
-
C.
0.4
-
D.
0.2
Solution
Using the Pythagorean identity, sin B = √(1 - cos²B) = √(1 - 0.6²) = √(1 - 0.36) = √(0.64) = 0.8.

Q. If cot A = 1, what is the value of A? (2022)
-
A.
45°
-
B.
90°
-
C.
60°
-
D.
30°
Solution
Cotangent is 1 when the angle A is 45°, as cot A = cos A/sin A = 1 when both are equal.

Q. If cot D = 3/4, what is the value of sin D?
-
A.
3/5
-
B.
4/5
-
C.
5/3
-
D.
5/4
Solution
cot D = 3/4 implies tan D = 4/3. Therefore, sin D = 4/5 (using the identity sin²D + cos²D = 1).
Correct Answer: A — 3/5
