Answer the questions that follow, giving clear reasons. a. (i) Explain why sin⁡(90∘−θ)=cos⁡θ\sin(90^{\circ}-\theta)=\cos \theta and verify this relation numerically for θ=30∘\theta=30^{\circ}. b. (ii) Using the relation in part (i), show that sin⁡30∘+cos⁡60∘=1\sin 30^{\circ}+\cos 60^{\circ}=1. c. (iii) Without carrying out any calculation, state whether sin⁡45∘−cos⁡45∘\sin 45^{\circ}-\cos 45^{\circ} is positive, negative, or zero, and justify your answer briefly.
