Q) If A and B are acute angles such that sin(A-B) = 0 and 2 cos (A+B) -1 = 0, then find angles A and B.
Ans:
Given that sin(A – B) = 0
Since we know that, sin 00 = 0
A – B = 0 ……….. (i)
Also we are given that 2 cos (A + B) -1 = 0
or cos (A + B) =
Since we know that, cos 600 =
A + B = 60 ……….. (ii)
By solving equations (i) and (ii), we get:
A = 300 , B = 300
Check: both angle values are of acute angles, hence our answer is correct.
