NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 3 Trigonometric Functions Exercise 3.1

1. Find the radian measures corresponding to the following degree measure. 
(i) 25° 
(ii) –47°30'
(iii) 240° 
(iv) 520°

Answer

Ï€ radians = 180° 
1° = Ï€/180 radians 

(i) 25° = 25 × Ï€/180 = 5Ï€/36

(ii) 60' = 1° ∴ 30' = 30°/60 = 1/2
∴ 47° 30' = (47 + 1/2)° = (95/2)°
∴ 180° = Ï€ radian
-(95/2) = -Ï€/ 180 × 95/2 radians = -19Ï€/72 radians

(iii) 240° = 240 × Ï€/180 = 4Ï€/3 radians. 

(iv) 180° = Ï€ radians 
520° = Ï€/180 × 520 radians = 26Ï€/9 radians 

2. Find the degree measures corresponding to the following radian measures (use Ï€ = 22/7). 
(i) 11/16 
(ii) – 4 
(iii) 5Ï€/ 3 
(iv) 7Ï€/6

Answer

(i) Ï€ radians = 22/7 radians = 180°

∴ 11/16 radians = 180/ 22 × 7× 11/16 degree

=315/8 degree = 39.3/8 degree

= 39°22°30°

(ii) -4 radians = (-4 × 180/Ï€)° 

= (4 × 180 × 7)/ 22 = -(2520/11) = 229° 5' 27'' (nearly) 

(iii) Similar 

(iv) Similar

3. A wheel makes 360 revolutions in one minute. Through how many radians does it turn in one second? 

Answer

Angle rotated in one revolution = 2Ï€ radians 
∴ Angle rotated in 360 revolution 
= 360 × 2Ï€ radians 
⇒ Angle turned in one minute or 60 sec 
= 360 × 2Ï€ 
Hence, angle turned in 1sec= (360 × 2Ï€)/60
= 12Ï€ radians.

4. Find the degree measure of the angle subtended at the centre of a circle of radius 100 cm by an arc of length 22 cm (use Ï€ = 22/7).

Answer

We know that l = r θ 
where l = length of arc = 20 cm;
r = radius of circle = 100 cm; 
θ = angle subtended at the centre 
∴ Î¸ = l/r = 22/100 = 0.22 radians 
= 0.22 × 180°/ degree
= (0.22 × 180 × 7)/22 = 22/100 × (180 × 7)/22
126/10 = 12°36’

5. In a circle of diameter 40 cm, the length of a chord is 20 cm. Find the length of minor arc of the chord.

Answer

Since radius = length of chord = 20 cm
=> △OAB is equilateral triangle 
=> θ = 60° => l = rθ
=> l = 20 × 60° × Ï€/180° = 20Ï€/3
l = 20Ï€/3 cm

6. If in two circles, arcs of the same length subtend angles 60° and 75° at the centre. Find the ratio of their radii.

Answer

l = r1θ =r1 × 60 נπ/180° = Ï€r1/3

and l = r2θ = r2 × 75 נπ/180° = 5Ï€r2/12
since, l is same for both the circles
(Ï€/3)r1 = (5Ï€/12)r2 => r1 : r2 = 5 : 4

7. Find the angle in radian through which a pendulum swings if its length is 75 cm and the tip describes an arc of length. 
(i) 10 cm 
(ii) 15 cm 
(iii) 21 cm

Answer

(i) r = 75cm, l = 10cm
We know, θ = l/r = 10/75 = 2/15 radians

(ii) r = 75cm, l = 15cm
We know, θ = l/r = 15/75 = 1/5 radians

(iii) r = 75cm , l = 21cm
We know, θ = l/r = 21/75 = 7/25 radians
