An isosceles triangle ABC is right angled at B. D is a point inside the triangle ΔABC. X and Y are the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from D on the sides AB and AC respectively of ΔABC. If AP = a cm, AQ = b cm and ∠BAD = 15° then sin 75° is? |
\(\frac{2b}{\sqrt {3a}}\) \(\frac{\sqrt {3b}}{2a}\) \(\frac{\sqrt {3a}}{2b}\) \(\frac{a}{b}\) |
\(\frac{\sqrt {3a}}{2b}\) |
∠BAD = 15° ∠DAC = 45° - 15° = 30° ∠ADX = 90° - 15° = 75° ∠ADY = 90° - 30° = 60° in ΔADQ, sin ∠ADQ = sin 60° \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}=\frac{b}{AD}⇒AD=\frac{2b}{\sqrt {3}}\) in ΔAXD, \(sin 75° =\frac{AX}{AD}\) \(sin 75° =\frac{a}{\frac{2b}{\sqrt {3}}}=\frac{\sqrt {3}a}{2b}\)
