Question

If 1-cosA = 1/2 , Then find the value of sinA.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given :

1- cosA = 1/2

or, CosA = 1 -1/2

Therefore ; CosA = 1/2 = b/h

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

P = root under h^2 - b^2

= root under (2)^2 - (1)^2

= root under 4 -1

= root 3

Again,

SinA = P/h

= root 3 / 2
