Question
In Given Figure, find tan P – cot R.
Advertisements
Solution
Applying Pythagoras theorem for ΔPQR, we obtain
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
(13 cm)2 = (12 cm)2 + QR2
169 cm2 = 144 cm2 + QR2
25 cm2 = QR2
QR = 5 cm
tan P = `("Side opposite to ∠P")/("Side adjacent to ∠P") = ("QR")/("PQ")`
= `5/12`
cot R = `("Side opposite to ∠R")/("Side adjacent to ∠R") = ("QR")/("PQ")`
= `5/12`
tan P - cot R = `5/12 - 5/12 = 0`

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
