Question

If 0° < A < 90°; find A, if `sinA/(secA - 1) + sinA/(secA + 1) = 2`

Sum

Solution

`sinA/(secA - 1) + sinA/(secA + 1) = 2`

`=> (sinAsecA + sinA + secAsinA - sinA)/((secA - 1)(secA + 1)) = 2`

`=> (2sinAsecA)/(sec^2A - 1) = 2`

`=> (sinAsecA)/tan^2A = 1`

`=> cosA/sinA = 1`

`=>` cot A = 1

We know cot 45° = 1

Hence, A = 45°
