Q4(iv):
State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer. (iv) $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ for all values of $\theta$.
Solution :
Given: A statement $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ for all values of $\theta$, where $\theta$ is an angle in a right-angled triangle.
To Find/Prove: Determine whether the given statement is True or False and provide a justification.
Step 1: Analyzing the definitions of Sine and Cosine
In a right-angled triangle $ABC$ (right-angled at $B$), for an acute angle $\theta$ at vertex $A$:
$\sin \theta = \frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{BC}{AC}$
$\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{AB}{AC}$
Step 2: Testing the equality for specific values of $\theta$
The statement claims $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ for all values of $\theta$. To disprove this, we only need to find one counter-example.
Let $\theta = 0^\circ$:
$\sin 0^\circ = 0$ [From trigonometric table values]
$\cos 0^\circ = 1$ [From trigonometric table values]
Since $0 \neq 1$, the statement $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ is false for $\theta = 0^\circ$.
Let $\theta = 30^\circ$:
$\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$
$\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$
Since $0.5 \neq 0.866$, the statement is false for $\theta = 30^\circ$.
Step 3: Identifying the condition where the statement holds
The equation $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ is only true when $\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = 1$, which implies $\tan \theta = 1$.
We know that $\tan 45^\circ = 1$. Therefore, $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ only when $\theta = 45^\circ$ (within the range $0^\circ \le \theta \le 90^\circ$).
Conclusion:
Since the equality does not hold for all values of $\theta$ (e.g., it fails at $\theta = 0^\circ$ and $\theta = 30^\circ$), the statement is False.
Final Answer: False. The statement $\sin \theta = \cos \theta$ is only true when $\theta = 45^\circ$, not for all values of $\theta$.
