If \(\sin\theta=\frac7{25}\), find \(\cos^2\theta\).

  1. \(\frac{576}{625}\)

  2. \(\frac{718}{525}\)

  3. \(\frac{756}{325}\)

  4. \(\frac{347}{125}\)

Answer: A

Solution

Using the identity:
\[
\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1
\]

Therefore,
\[
\cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta
\]

Substituting:
\[
\cos^2\theta=1-\left(\frac7{25}\right)^2
\]

\[
=1-\frac{49}{625}
\]

\[
=\frac{625-49}{625}
\]

\[
\boxed{\frac{576}{625}}
\]

Trick Explanation/Solution: When \(\sin\theta\) is given and \(\cos^2\theta\) is required, use \(\cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta\) directly.
