Question
Find the value of `sqrt(3)` cosec 20° – sec 20°
Advertisements
Solution
We have
`sqrt(3)` cosec 20° – sec 20° = `sqrt(3)/(sin20^circ) - 1/(cos20^circ)`
= `(sqrt(3) cos 20^circ - sin 20^circ)/(sin 20^circ cos 20^circ)`
= `4((sqrt(3)/2 cos 20^circ - 1/2 sin 20^circ)/(2sin 20^circ cos 20^circ))`
= `4((sin60^circ cos20^circ - cos60^circ sin20^circ)/sin40^circ)`
= `4((sin(60^circ - 20^circ))/(sin 40^circ))`
= 4

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
