Question

If `cos B = 3/5 and (A + B) =- 90° ,`find the value of sin A.

Solution

We have ,

 cos B = `3/5`

  ⇒ ` cos ( 90° - A ) = 3/5       ( As , A+ B = 90°)`

  ∴ sin A = `3/5`

Show that, cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ

Solution :

L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ

= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`

= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`

= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`

= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`

= cosecθ × secθ

L.H.S. = R.H.S

∴ cotθ + tanθ = cosecθ × secθ
