Question

If secA + tanA = p then find the value of cosec A . ❤

Answer 1

Sec A + Tan A =p

(SecA)^2 - (TanA)^2 = 1

(Sec A + Tan A)*(Sec A - Tan A)=1

Sec A - Tan A = 1/p

solving

Sec A = (p^2+1)/2p

Tan A = (p^2–1)/2p

Cosec A = 1/sin A = Sec A/Tan A = (p^2+1)/(p^2–1)

Answer 2

Answer:

Given :

sec A + tan A = p

I am replacing p by ' k '

sec A + tan A = k

We know :

sec A = H / B   & tan A = P / B

H / B + P / B =  k / 1

H + P / B =  k / 1

So , B = 1

H + P = k

P = k - H

From pythagoras theorem :

H² = P² + B²

H² = ( H - k )² + 1

H² = H² + k² - 2 H k + 1

2 H k = k² + 1

H = k² + 1 / 2 k

P = k - H

P = k² - 1 / 2 k

Now write k = p we have :

Base = 1

Perpendicular P = P² - 1 / 2 P

Hypotenuse H = P² + 1 / 2 P

Value of cosec A = H / P

cosec A =  P² + 1 / 2 P / P² - 1 / 2 P

cosec A = P² + 1 / P² - 1

Therefore , we got value .
