Answer

(i) 2 sin x° - 1 = 0

⇒ 2 sin x° = 1

⇒ sin x° = 12\dfrac{1}{2}

Hence, sin x° = 12\dfrac{1}{2}.

(ii) x°

⇒ sin x° = 12\dfrac{1}{2}

⇒ sin x° = sin 30°

Hence, x° = 30°.

(iii) cos x°

⇒ cos 30° = 32\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}

Hence, cos x° = 32\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}.

(iv) tan x°.

⇒ tan 30° = 13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}

Hence, tan x° = 13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}.
