Best answer

sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

i. lf θ = 0°, 

LH.S. = sin2 θ + cos2 θ 

= sin2 0° + cos2 0° 

= 0 + 1 … [∵ sin 0° = 0, cos 0° = 1] 

= R.H.S. 

∴ sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1 

ii. If θ = 90°, 

L.H.S.= sin2 θ + cos2 θ = sin 90° + cos 90° 

= 1 + 0 … [ ∵ sin 90° = 1, cos 90° = 0] 

= 1 = R.H.S. 

∴ sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1
