Try yourself:If 4 cos2 A + 2 sin2 A = 3, then what is the value of A, given that A lies in the first quadrant?
Explanation
4 cos2 A + 2 (1 - cos2 A) = 3
4 cos2 A + 2 - 2cos2A = 3
2 + 2 cos2A = 3
2(1 + cos2 A) = 3
1 + cos2 A = 3/2
A = 45°

Try yourself:AB is a vertical pole. The end A is on the level ground and C is the middle point of AB. P is a point on the level ground. The portion BC subtends an angle β at P. If AP = nAB, then tan equals
Explanation
AC = AP tan α
⇒ (1/2) AB = n AB tan α

Try yourself:Two vertical poles of equal height are 120 m apart. On the line joining their bases, A and B are two points. Angle of elevation of the top of one pole from A is 45o and that of the other pole from B is also 45o. If AB = 30 m, then the height of each pole is
Explanation
Hence, 120 = h + 30 + h
⇒ h = 45 m
∴ Height of the vertical poles = 45 m
