Question

If cot theta is equal to 7 by 8 then find the value of tan squared theta

Answer 1

Cot theta = 7/8

Therefore tan theta = 8/7

Tan^2 ( theta) = 64/49

Answer 2

tan theta = 1/ cot theta

therefore,
tan theta = 1/(7/8 )

now reciprocal this

tan theta =8/7

squaring both side

tan^2 theta = (8/7)^2
tan^2 theta= 64/49
