Solution
Given that, PR + QR = 25
PQ = 5
Let PR be x.
Therefore, QR = 25 − x
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR, we obtain
PR2 = PQ2 + QR2
x2 = (5)2 + (25 − x)2
x2 = 25 + 625 + x2 − 50x
50x = 650
x = 13
Therefore, PR = 13 cm
QR = (25 − 13) cm
= 12 cm
sin P = `("QR")/("PR")=12/13`
cos P = `("PQ")/("PR")=5/13`
tan P = `("QR")/("PQ")=12/5`

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
