Note: Consider we need to find the value of M if [tex]0^\circ<M<90^\circ[/tex]
Given:
In a right triangle ABC,
[tex]\sin M=\cos 61^\circ[/tex]
To find:
The value of M.
Solution:
We have,
[tex]\sin M=\cos 61^\circ[/tex]
It can be rewritten as:
[tex]\sin M=\cos (90^\circ-29)^\circ[/tex]
[tex]\sin M=\sin 29^\circ[/tex] [tex][\because \sin (90^\circ-\theta)=\sin \theta][/tex]
On comparing both sides, we get
[tex]M=29^\circ[/tex]
Therefore, the value of M is 29 degrees.
