Solve for 'θ': cot2(θ - 5)° = 3

Solve for 'θ': cot²(θ - 5)° = 3

Sum

cot²(θ - 5)° = 3
⇒ cot(θ - 5)° = `sqrt(3)`
⇒ cot(θ - 5)° = cot 30°
⇒ (θ - 5)° = 30°
⇒ θ = 30°+ 5°
⇒ θ = 35°.

Chapter 27 Trigonometrical Ratios of Standard Angles
Exercise 27.1 | Q 7.2

Solve for x : 2 cos (3x − 15°) = 1

Solve for x : tan² (x - 5°) = 3

In a rectangle ABCD, AB = 20cm, ∠BAC = 60°, calculate side BC and diagonals AC and BD.

Find the value 'x', if:

Express each of the following in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°: cosec64° + sec70°

Express each of the following in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles between 0° and 45°: sin53° + sec66° - sin50°

Evaluate the following: `(3sin37°)/(cos53°) - (5"cosec"39°)/(sec51°) + (4tan23° tan37° tan67° tan53°)/(cos17° cos67° "cosec"73° "cosec"23°)`

If sec2θ = cosec3θ, find the value of θ if it is known that both 2θ and 3θ are acute angles.

If secθ= cosec30° and θ is an acute angle, find the value of 4 sin²θ - 2 cos²θ.
