Δ ABC is a right triangle. If ∠B = 90° and tan A = 1/√2, then the value of sin A cos C + cos A sin C is:

  1. A.

    1

  2. B.

    2

  3. C.

    2/3

  4. D.

    1/3

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Since angle B is 90 degrees in triangle ABC, A + C = 90 degrees. The expression sin A cos C + cos A sin C equals sin(A + C) = sin 90 degrees = 1.
