Question
In a triangle ABC, if 5∠A = 3∠B = 15∠C, then find the
value of cosA + sin(C + 10 ° )Solution
Given, 5∠A = 3∠B = 15∠C
Or, ∠A:∠B:∠C = (1/5):(1/3):(1/15) = 3:5:1
Let ∠A, ∠B and ∠C be '3x', '5x' and 'x', respectively
Therefore, 3x + 5x + x = 180 o (sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 o )
Or, 9x = 180 o
Or, x = 20 o
Therefore, cosA + sin(C + 10 o ) = cos60 o + sin30 o = (1/2) + (1/2) = 1
