Question : ABC is a right-angled triangle with $\angle A=90°$. Then the value of $\cos^{2}A+\cos^{2}B+cos^{2}C$ is:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: $\angle A=90°$ We know that, $\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180°$ Putting the value of $\angle A$ ⇒ $90°+\angle B+\angle C=180°$ ⇒ $\angle B+\angle C=180°–90°$ ⇒ $\angle B+\angle C=90°$ ⇒ $\angle B=90°–\angle C$ Now, $\cos^{2}A+\cos^{2}B+\cos^{2}C$ Putting the values, we get $\cos^{2}90°+\cos^{2}(90°–\angle C)+\cos^{2}C$ $=0+\sin^{2} C+\cos^{2}C$ $=\sin^{2} C+\cos^{2}C
