Given, 15 cot A = 8



Divide by 15 on both sides,


15 cot A / 15 = 8 / 15

cot A = 8 / 15


we know, cotA = base / height


base / height = 8 / 15





Then, let base = 8 x

let height = 15 x



By Pythagoras Theorem,

( hypotenuse )^2 = ( 15 x ) ^2 + ( 8 x )^2

hypotenuse^2 = ( 225 + 64 )x^2

hypotenuse^2 = 289 x^2

hypotenuse = 17 x





Hence,

sinA = height / hypotenuse

sin A = 15 x / 17 x

sin A = 15 / 17



secA = hypotenuse / base

sec A = 17 x / 8 x

sec A = 17 / 8
