Question

In Fig below, Find tan P and cot R. Is tan P = cot R?

Solution

Let x be the adjacent side.

By Pythagoras theorem

๐‘ƒ๐‘…2 = ๐‘ƒ๐‘„2 + ๐‘…๐‘„2

169 = ๐‘ฅ2 + 144

๐‘ฅ2 = 25

๐‘ฅ = 5

At LP, opposite side = 5

Adjacent side = 12

Hypotenuse = 13

`tan P = (1/12)/5 => 5/12`

At LR, opposite side = 12

Adjacent side = 5

Hypotenuse = 13

`cot R = 1/tan R = 1/(12/5) = 5/12`

`[โˆต Tan R = "๐‘œ๐‘๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘‘๐‘’"/"๐‘Ž๐‘‘๐‘—๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘’๐‘›๐‘ก ๐‘ ๐‘–๐‘‘๐‘’"]`

โˆต tan P = cot R
