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]`
