if secthetha=5/3 and 0<thetha<pi/2. find all the T-ratios
Answers
Given that
0 < ∅ < π/2
This means that the angle ∅ can not be greater than π/2 and can not be smaller than 0
This further means that all trigonometric ratios will be positive.
Now, let's focus on the question.
Sec∅ = 5/3
Taking out cos∅ is the easiest, it's just the reciprocal of sec∅
so, cos∅ = 1/sec∅ = 1÷ (5/3) = 3/5
Now, there's a cool identity that puts sin∅ and cos∅ in a relation. It is
sin²∅ + cos²∅ = 1
Now we know the value of cos∅ so we can find sin∅
sin²∅ + (3/5)² = 1
sin²∅ = 1 - (3/5)²
= 1 - 9/25
= (25 - 9)/25
= 16/25
as sin²∅ = 16/25
sin∅ = √(16/25) = 4/5
(We didn't take the negative value because all Trigonometric ratios are positive. Why? Go back to the starting of this solution.)
Now tan∅ = sin∅/cos∅
so 4/5 ÷ 3/5
= 4/3
Now cosec∅ = 1/sin∅
= 1 ÷ 4/5
= 5/4
And cot∅ = 1/tan∅
= 1 ÷ 4/3
= 3/4
Final answer
sin∅ = 4/5
cos∅ = 3/5
tan∅ = 4/3
sec∅ = 5/3
cosec∅ = 5/4
cot∅ = 3/4
