ΔAMT∼ΔAHE, construct Δ AMT such that MA = 6.3 cm, ∠MAT=120°, AT = 4.9 cm and `"MA"/"HA"=7/5`, then construct ΔAHE.

Solution
Δ AMT and Δ AHE are give
⇒ `("MA")/("HA")= ("AT")/("AE") =("TM")/("EH")=7/5`
⇒ `("MA")/("HA")=7/5 ⇒ 6.3/"HA" =7/5`
⇒ `"HA" =(6.3xx5)/7`
⇒ HA = 4.5cm
Similarly, `"AT"/"AE" =7/5`
⇒ `4.9/"AE" =7/5 ⇒"AE" =(4.9xx5)/7⇒"AE"=3.5`cm
Given triangle Required triangle

Steps of Constructing the required triangle:
1. Draw a line segment of some length HP and mark an arc of 4.5cm(as calculated above) and name it as A.

2. At vertex A, make an angle of 120°

3. Mark an arc of 3.5cm (as calculated above) on AT’ and name it E.

4. Join HE.

5. Δ AHE is the required triangle.

Prove that: (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ)
= `(1/square - cos θ) (square/square + square/square)` ......`[∵ sec θ = 1/square, cot θ = square/square and tan θ = square/square]`
= `((1 - square)/square) ((square + square)/(square square))`
= `square/square xx 1/(square square)` ......`[(∵ square + square = 1),(∴ square = 1 - square)]`
= `square/(square square)`
= tan θ.sec θ
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ (sec θ – cos θ) (cot θ + tan θ) = tan θ.sec θ
