已知x,β是锐角,sinx=4/5,cos(x+β)=5/13,求sinβ的值

问题描述:

已知x,β是锐角,sinx=4/5,cos(x+β)=5/13,求sinβ的值

因为已知x,β是锐角,sinx=4/5
所以cosx=3/5
又因为cos(x+β)=5/13
所以sin(x+β)=12/13
cos(x+β)=cosxcosβ-sinxsinβ=3/5cosβ-4/5sinβ=5/13
左右两边乘以4得:12/5cosβ-16/5sinβ=20/13①
sin(x+β)=sinxcosβ+cosxsinβ=4/5cosβ+3/5sinβ=12/13
左右两边乘以3得:12/5cosβ+9/5sinβ=36/13②
②-①=5sinβ=16/13
所以sinβ=16/65
