\[cosineA=\frac{\mathrm{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\]

\[tangentA=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\mathrm{Base}}\]

\[cotangent A = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}\]

\[secantA=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\mathrm{Base}}\]

\[cosecantA=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}\]

\[\sin\mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{cosec~A}}\quad\mathrm{and}\quad\mathrm{cosec~A}=\frac{1}{\sin\mathrm{A}}\]

\[\cos\mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{\sec\mathrm{A}}\quad\mathrm{and}\quad\mathrm{sec}\mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{\cos\mathrm{A}}\]

• sin⁡θ⋅cosec⁡θ = 1

• cos⁡θ⋅sec⁡θ = 1

• tan⁡θ⋅cot⁡θ = 1

\[tanA=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}\]

\[cotA=\frac{\cos A}{\sin A}\]

We have `sin theta = 3/4`

In ΔABC

`AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2`

`=> (4)^2 = (3)^2 + BC^2`

`=> BC^2= 16 - 9`

`=> BC^2 = 7`

`=> BC = sqrt7`

`:. cosec theta = 4/3, sec theta = 4/sqrt7 and cot theta = sqrt7/3`

Now

L.H.S `sqrt((cosec^2 theta - cot^2 theta)/(sec^2 theta - 1))`

`= sqrt(((4/3)^2 - (sqrt7/3)^2)/((4/sqrt7)^2 - 1)`

`= sqrt((16/9 - 7/9)/(16/7 - 1)`

`=sqrt((9/9)/((16 - 7)/7 ))`

`= sqrt(7/9)`

`= sqrt7/3`

= R.H.S

Let `(a sin  theta - b cos theta)/(a sin theta + b cos theta)`

Divide both Nr and Dr with cos θ of (a)

`((a sin theta - b cos theta)/cos theta)/((a sin theta + b cos theta)/cos theta)`

`= (tan theta - b)/(a tan theta + b)`

`=(a xx (a/b) - b)/(a xx (a/b) + b)`

`= (a^2 - b^2)/(a^2 + b^2)`

For an acute angle A in a right-angled triangle:

• Hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.

• Perpendicular is the side opposite angle A.

• Base is the side adjacent to angle A.
