Question
If `cot theta = 1/sqrt3` show that `(1 - cos^2 theta)/(2 - sin^2 theta) = 3/5`
Advertisements
Solution
`cot theta = 1/sqrt3 (1 - cos^2 theta)/(2 - sin^2 theta) = 3/5`
`cot theta = "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ ๐๐๐"/"๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐" = 1/sqrt3`
Let x be the hypotenuse
By applying Pythagoras
๐ด๐ถ2 = ๐ด๐ต2 + ๐ต๐ถ2
`x^2 = (sqrt3)^2 + 1`
`x^2 = 3 + 1`
๐ฅ2 = 3 + 1 ⇒ ๐ฅ = 2
`cos theta = (BC)/(AC) = 1/2`
`sin theta = (AB)/(AC) = sqrt3/2`
`(1 - cos^2 theta)/(2 - sin^2 theta) => (1 - (1/2)^2)/(2 - (sqrt3)/2)^2`
`=> (1 - 1/4)/(2 - 3/4) => (3/4)/(5/4`
`= 3/5`
