In a $ \Delta A B C $ right angled at $ B, \angle A=\angle C $. Find the values of
$ \sin A \sin B+\cos A \cos B $
Given:
In a $\triangle ABC$ right angled at B, $\angle A = \angle C$.
To do:
We have to find the value of $\sin\ A\ sin\ B + \cos\ A\ cos\ B$.
Solution:
We know that sum of the angles in a triangle is $180^{\circ}$.
This implies,
$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^{\circ}$
$\angle A+90^{\circ}+\angle A=180^{\circ}$ ($\angle B=90^{\circ}$)
$2\angle A=180^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$
$\angle A=\frac{90^{\circ}}{2}$
$\angle A=\angle C=45^{\circ}$
Therefore,
$\sin\ A\ sin\ B + \cos\ A\ cos\ B=\sin\ 45^{\circ}\ sin\ 90^{\circ} + \cos\ 45^{\circ}\ cos\ 90^{\circ}$$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\times1+\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\times0$ (Since $\sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}, \sin 90^{\circ}=1, \cos 90^{\circ}=0$)
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}+0$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$
The value of $\sin\ A\ sin\ B + \cos\ A\ cos\ B$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$.
