Question

State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.

sin θ = `4/3`, for some angle θ.

Options

  • True

  • False

MCQ
True or False

Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

sin θ = `4/3`

We know that in a right-angled triangle,

sin θ = `("Side opposite to ∠θ")/"Hypotenuse"`

In a right-angled triangle, hypotenuse is always greater than the remaining two sides. Therefore, such value of sin θ is not possible.

Hence, the given statement is false.

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
