Solution
cos A = `(2sqrt("m"))/("m" + 1)` ......[Given]
We know that,
sin2A + cos2A = 1
∴ `sin^2"A" + ((2sqrt("m"))/("m" + 1))^2` = 1
∴ `sin^2"A" + (4"m")/("m" + 1)^2` = 1
∴ sin2A = `1 - (4"m")/("m" + 1)^2`
= `(("m" + 1)^2 - 4"m")/("m" + 1)^2`
= `("m"^2 + 2"m" + 1 - 4"m")/("m" + 1)^2` ......[∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]
= `("m"^2 - 2"m" + 1)/("m" + 1)^2`
∴ sin2A = `("m" - 1)^2/("m" + 1)^2` ......[∵ a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2]
∴ sin A = `("m" - 1)/("m" + 1)` .....[Taking square root of both sides]
Now, cosec A = `1/"sin A"`
= `1/(("m" - 1)/("m" + 1))`
∴ cosec A = `("m" + 1)/("m" - 1)`
