Question
If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`

Solution
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `bb((40/9)^2)` = cosec2θ
1 + `bb(1600/81)` = cosec2θ
`(bb81 + bb1600)/bb81` = cosec2θ
`bb1681/bb81` = cosec2θ ......[Taking square root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/bb(41/9)`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
