Question 33 Trigonometric Identities Exercise 18

If x = h + a cos θ and y = k + a sin θ, prove that (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = a2.

Answer:

Solution:

Trigonometric identities are equality conditions in trigonometry that hold for all values of the variables that appear and are defined on both sides of the equivalence.

Given,

x = h + a cos θ

y = k + a sin θ

Now,

x – h = a cos θ

y – k = a sin θ

On squaring and adding we get

(x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = a2 cos2 θ + a2 sin2 θ

= a2 (sin2 θ + cos2 θ)

= a2 (1) [Since, sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1]

– Hence proved
