Question

If `cot θ = 15/8` then evaluate `((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))/((1 + cos θ)(1 - cos θ))`.

Evaluate

Solution

Given, `cot θ = 15/8`.

∴ `((1 + sin θ)(1 - sin θ))/((1 + cos θ)(1 - cos θ)) = ((1 - sin^2θ))/((1 - cos^2θ))`

= `(cos^2θ)/(sin^2θ)`

= `(cos θ/sin θ)^2`

= (cot θ)2

= `(15/8 xx 15/8)`

= `225/64`
