Question

Express each one of the following in terms of trigonometric ratios of angles lying between 0° and 45°

cosec 54° + sin 72°

Solution

We know `sin(90^@ - theta) = cos theta` and `cosec(90^@ - theta) = sec theta` So

`cosec 54° + sin 72° = cosec(90^@ - 36^@) + sin (90^@ - 18^@)`

`= sec 36^@ + cos 18^@`

hus the desired expression is sec 36^@ + cos 18^@`
