Question

in each lf the following one of the six Trignometric ratios is given find the value of other Trignometric ratios cos A= 4/5​

Answer 1

We have,

cos A = 4/5 …….…. (1)

As we know, by cos defination

cos A = Base/Hypotenuse …. (2)

By comparing eq. (1) and (2), we get

Base = 4 and Hypotenuse = 5

Now, using Pythagoras theorem in Δ ABC

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

Putting the value of base (AB) and hypotenuse (AC) and for the perpendicular (BC), we get

52 = 42 + BC2

BC2 = 52 – 42

BC2 = 25 – 16

BC2 = 9

BC= 3

Hence, Perpendicular = 3

By definition,

sin A = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

⇒ sin A = 3/5

Then, cosec A = 1/sin A

⇒ cosec A= 1/ (3/5) = 5/3 = Hypotenuse/Perependicular

And, sec A = 1/cos A

⇒ sec A =Hypotenuse/Base

sec A = 5/4

And, tan A = Perpendicular/Base

⇒ tan A = 3/4

Next, cot A = 1/tan A = Base/Perpendicular

∴ cot A = 4/3
