If the length of the side opposite to angle A is 15 units and the length of the hypotenuse is 17 units then the length of the side adjacent to angle A is _____(a) 8 units(b) 7 units(c) 4 units(d) 5 unitsThe question was posed to me during an interview.My question comes from Trigonometric Ratios topic in section Trigonometry of Mathematics – Class 10

Answer»

Right choice is (a) 8 UNITS

To explain: From PYTHAGORAS theorem, (Hypotenuse)^2 = (OPPOSITE side)^2 + (Adjacent side)^2

(Adjacent side)^2 = (Hypotenuse)^2 – (Opposite side)^2

Adjacent side = \(\sqrt {289225}\) = 8 units
