QQuestion

If tan θ cos 60° = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} then the value of sin(θ – 15°) is _____.

Exam-ready answer 01 Mark

Answer

1\over√2.

Explanation

tan θ cos 60° = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

or, tan θ × 1\over 2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

or, tan θ = √3

or, tan θ = tan 60º

or, θ = 60º

sin(θ – 15°) = sin(60º – 15°)

= sin 45°

= 1\over√2
