Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{a}&-\sin\text{a}\\\sin\text{a}&\cos\text{a} \end{bmatrix}$ is identity matrix, then write the value of a.

Answer

Here,
$\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{a}&-\sin\text{a}\\\sin\text{a}&\cos\text{a} \end{bmatrix}=\text{I}$
$\Rightarrow\begin{bmatrix}\cos\text{a}&-\sin\text{a}\\\sin\text{a}&\cos\text{a} \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&1 \end{bmatrix}$
The corresponding elements of equal matrices are equal.
$\therefore \cos\text{a}=1$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=0^{\circ}$
