प्रश्न
If sin A = `3/4`, calculate cos A and tan A.
उत्तर
Let ΔABC be a right-angled triangle, right-angled at point B.
Given that,
sin A = `3/4`
`("BC")/("AC") = 3/4`
Let BC be 3k.
Therefore, AC will be 4k, where k is a positive integer.
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(4k)2 = AB2 + (3k)2
16k2 − 9k2 = AB2
7k2 = AB2
AB = `sqrt7k`
cos A = `("Side adjacent to ∠A")/"Hypotenuse"`
∴ cos A = `("AB")/("AC")`
= `sqrt(7k)/(4k)`
= `sqrt7/4`
tan A = `("Side adjacent to ∠A")/("Side adjacent to ∠A")`
= `("BC")/("AB")`
= `(3k)/(sqrt7k)`
= `3/sqrt7`

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
