Mathematics
Statement 1: The angle C of a right angled triangle is 90°, then tan A = cot B.
Statement 2: Since, angle C of triangle ABC = 90°.
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 90° ⇒ ∠A = 90° - ∠B
Both the statements are true.
Both the statements are false.
Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Answer
Given, ∠C = 90°.
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 90° = 180°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 180° - 90°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 90°
⇒ ∠A = 90° - ∠B
So, statement 2 is true.
⇒ tan A = tan (90° - ∠B)
⇒ tan A = cot B
So, statement 1 is true.
∴ Both the statements are true.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
