Question

If tan θ = `7/24`, then to find value of cos θ complete the activity given below.

Activity:

sec2θ = 1 + `square`    ......[Fundamental tri. identity]

sec2θ = 1 + `square^2`

sec2θ = 1 + `square/576`

sec2θ = `square/576`

sec θ = `square` 

cos θ = `square`     .......`[cos theta = 1/sectheta]`

Solution

sec2θ = 1 + tan2θ    ......[Fundamental tri. identity]

∴ sec2θ = 1 + `(7/24)^2`

∴ sec2θ = 1 + `49/576`

∴ sec2θ =`(576 + 49)/576`

∴ sec2θ = `625/576`

∴ sec θ = `25/24`

∴ cos θ = `24/25`     .......`[cos theta = 1/sectheta]`
