1 Length of the arc = l = 37.4 cm

Central angle = θ = 60° = 60π/180 radian = π/3 radians
We know that,
r = l/θ
= (37.4) * (π / 3)
= (37.4) / [22 / 7 * 3]
= 35.7 cm

3 Let 3x = 2x + x
Taking “tan” on both sides,
tan 3x = tan (2x + x)
We know that,

tan 3x = (tan 2x + tan x)/ (1- tan 2x tan x)

tan 3x(1 – tan 2x tan x) = tan 2x + tan x
tan 3x – tan 3x tan 2x tan x = tan 2x + tan x
tan 3x – (tan 2x + tan x) = tan 3x tan 2x tan x
Therefore, tan 3x – tan 2x – tan x = tan 3x tan 2x tan x.

4 LHS =cos (570)sin (510) + sin (- 330)cos (- 390)

= cos (570) sin (510) + [ – sin (330) ]cos (390) [ because sin( – x ) = – sin x and cos( –
x ) = cos x ]
 = cos (570)sin(510) – sin (330)
= cos (90 * 6 + 30) sin (90 * 5 + 60) – sin (90 * 3 + 60) cos (90 * 4 + 30)
= – cos (30) cos (60) – [ – cos (60) ] cos (30)
= – cos (30) cos (60) + cos (30) sin (60) = 0
5 LHS = 2 sin2β + 4 cos (α + β) sin α sin β + cos 2(α + β)
= 2 sin2β + 4 (cos α cos β – sin α sin β) sin α sin β + (cos 2α cos 2β – sin 2α sin 2β)
= 2 sin2β + 4 sin α cos α sin β cos β – 4 sin2α sin2β + cos 2α cos 2β – sin 2α sin 2β
= 2 sin2β + sin 2α sin 2β – 4 sin2α sin2β + cos 2α cos 2β – sin 2α sin 2β
= (1 – cos 2β) – (2 sin2α) (2 sin2β) + cos 2α cos 2β
= (1 – cos 2β) – (1 – cos 2α) (1 – cos 2β) + cos 2α cos 2β
= cos 2α
= RHS
Therefore, 2 sin2β + 4 cos (α + β) sin α sin β + cos 2 (α + β) = cos 2α

6 LHS=(sec 8θ -1 )/ (sec4θ -1)

=(1/(cos8θ) -1 )/ (1/(cos4θ) -1)
=((1-cos8θ)cos4θ )/ ((1-cos4θ) cos8θ)
=(2sin2 4θcos4θ )/ ((2sin2 2θ) cos8θ)
=(2sin4θcos4θsin4θ )/ ((2sin2 2θ) cos8θ)
=(sin8θ * 2sin2θcos2θ )/ ((2sin2 2θ) cos8θ)
=(tan8θ * cos2θ )/ (sin2θ)
= (tan8θ) /(tan 2θ)
= RHS
Hence proved.

8 We have, a cos θ + b sin θ = m (i)

and a sin θ –bcos θ = n (ii)

10 We have tan (A + B) =p and tan (A – B) = q

tan2A = tan [(A + B) + (A-B)]
