Question 1. Evaluate the following:

(i) sin 20°/cos 70°

Solution:

Given: sin 20°/cos 70°

= sin(90° − 70°)/cos 70°

= cos 70°/cos 70°          -(∵ sin (90° – θ) = cos θ)

= 1

Hence, sin 20°/cos 70° = 1

(ii) cos 19°/sin 71°

Solution:

Given: cos 19°/sin 71°

= cos(90° − 71°)/sin 71°

= sin 71°/sin 71°             -(∵ cos (90° – θ) = sin θ)

Solution:

Given: sin 21°/cos 69°

= sin(90° − 69°)/cos 69°
