If $ \sin 3 \theta=\cos \left(\theta-6^{\circ}\right) $, where $ 3 \theta $ and $ \theta-6^{\circ} $ are acute angles, find the value of $ \theta $.


Given:

\( \sin 3 \theta=\cos \left(\theta-6^{\circ}\right) \), where \( 3 \theta \) and \( \theta-6^{\circ} \) are acute angles.

To do:

We have to find the value of \( \theta \).

Solution:  

We know that,

$\cos\ (90^{\circ}- \theta) = sin\ \theta$

Therefore,

$\sin 3 \theta=\cos \left(\theta-6^{\circ}\right)$

$\cos (90^{\circ}- 3\theta)=cos \left(\theta-6^{\circ}\right)$

Comparing on both sides, we get,

$90^{\circ}- 3\theta=\theta-6^{\circ}$

$3\theta+\theta=90^{\circ}+6^{\circ}$

$4\theta=96^{\circ}$

$\theta=\frac{96^{\circ}}{4}$

$\theta=24^{\circ}$

The value of \( \theta \) is $24^{\circ}$.
