Question:

If tan A = 10/15, then what will be the value of cos2 A ?

Options:

59/269

49/269

9/13

169/269

Correct Answer:

9/13

Explanation:

tanA = \(\frac{10 }{15}\)

By using pythagoras theorem ,

P2 + B2 = H2

102 + 152 = H2

H = 5√13

cos2A = (\(\frac{15 }{ 5√13}\))2 = (\(\frac{3 }{ √13}\) )2

= \(\frac{9 }{ 13}\)
