Answer ( 1 )
Answer: (b) 27°
Explanation: cos theta = sin (90 –
theta) for theta <= 90
so using this
cos(81 + theta) = sin (k/3- theta)
sin ( 90 – 81 – theta) = sin ( k/3 –
theta)
sin( 9- theta) = sin (k/3 – theta)
comparing now angles
9- theta = k/3 – theta
k/3 = 9 -theta + theta
k/3 = 9
k= 9*3
k = 27
