Q.2 (A)(2) If \(\sin\theta = \dfrac{5}{13}\) and \(\theta\) is an acute angle, complete the following activity to find \(\cos\theta\).

Solution :

\(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta =\) ____
\(\therefore \left(\dfrac{5}{13}\right)^2 + \cos^2\theta = 1\)
\(\therefore \cos^2\theta = 1 -\) ____
\(= \dfrac{\text{____}}{169}\)
\(\therefore \cos\theta =\) ____

Answer: \(\cos\theta = \dfrac{12}{13}\)

\(\sin^2\theta + \cos^2\theta = 1\).

\(\left(\dfrac{5}{13}\right)^2 + \cos^2\theta = 1 \Rightarrow \cos^2\theta = 1 - \dfrac{25}{169} = \dfrac{144}{169}\).

\(\theta\) is acute, so \(\cos\theta\) is positive: \(\cos\theta = \dfrac{12}{13}\).

Blanks in order: 1, \(\dfrac{25}{169}\), 144, \(\dfrac{12}{13}\).
