QuestionIn QRS\triangle Q R S, if sinR=cosS\sin R=\cos S, what can you conclude about R\angle R and S\angle S?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given a triangle QRS. . We know that sinR=cos\sin R = \cos.

STEP 2

We know that the sine of an angle is equal to the cosine of its complement. This is a fundamental property of trigonometry.
sinθ=cos(90θ)\sin \theta = \cos (90^\circ - \theta)

STEP 3

Given that sinR=cos\sin R = \cos, we can conclude that =90R =90^\circ - R.

STEP 4

Since we are dealing with a triangle, the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ.R++Q=180R + + Q =180^\circ

STEP 5

Substitute =90R =90^\circ - R into the equation.
R+(90R)+Q=180R + (90^\circ - R) + Q =180^\circ

STEP 6

implify the equation.
90+Q=18090^\circ + Q =180^\circ

STEP 7

olve for QQ.
Q=18090=90Q =180^\circ -90^\circ =90^\circ

STEP 8

Since QQ is 9090^\circ, this implies that RR and are complementary angles because the sum of $R$ and must be 9090^\circ to add up to 180180^\circ with QQ.
So, the conclusion is that both RR and $$ are complementary angles.
