In the following, trigonometric ratios are given. Find the values of the other trigonometric ratios.
`cos A = 4/5`

Solution
We know that `cos theta = "adjacent side"/"hypotenuse"`
Let us consider a right-angled ΔABC
Let opposite side BC = x.
By applying Pythagoras theorem, we get
𝐴𝐶2 = 𝐴𝐵2 + 𝐵𝐶2
25 = x + 16
x = 25 - 16 = 9
x = `sqrt9 = 3`
We know that `cosA = 4/5`
`sin A = "opposite side"/"hypotenuse" = 3/5`
`tan A = "opposite side"/"adjacent side" = 3/4`
`cosec A = 1/(sin A) = (1/3)/5 = 5/3`
`sec A = 1/(cos A) = (1/4)/5 = 5/4`
`cot A = 1/(tan A) =(1/3)/4 = 4/3`

Prove that: cot θ + tan θ = cosec θ·sec θ
Proof: L.H.S. = cot θ + tan θ
= `square/square + square/square` ......`[∵ cot θ = square/square, tan θ = square/square]`
= `(square + square)/(square xx square)` .....`[∵ square + square = 1]`
= `1/(square xx square)`
= `1/square xx 1/square`
= cosec θ·sec θ ......`[∵ "cosec" θ = 1/square, sec θ = 1/square]`
= R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ cot θ + tan θ = cosec·sec θ
