MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
If $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is right angled at C, then the value of $\cos\text{(A+ B)}$ is:
  • $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$0$
We know that, in $\triangle\text{ABC,}$ sum of three angles = 180º
$\text{i.e., }\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
But right angled at C. i.e., $\angle\text{C}=90^\circ$ [given]
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+90^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \ \text{A}+\text{B}=90^\circ$ $[\because\angle\text{A}=\text{A}]$
$\therefore\ \ \cos(\text{A}+\text{B})=\cos90^\circ=0$
