Question
Prove that :
tan θ + tan(90 - θ) = sec θ sec(90 - θ)
Solution
Taking LHS
⇨ LHS = tan θ + tan (90 - θ)
Using trigonometric ratio
cot A = tan (90 - A)
⇨ LHS = tan θ + cot θ
⇨ LHS =
Taking LCM
⇨ LHS =
Using trigonometric identity
sin²A + cos²A = 1
⇨ LHS =
⇨ LHS = cosecθ secθ
Using trigonometric ratio
cosec A = sec ( 90 - A )
⇨ LHS = sec ( 90 - θ ) sec θ = RHS
Proved .
Question
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when shadow of a pole h metres high is √3 h metres long.
Solution
In the figure , BC is the pole with height h , AB is the shadow of pole of length √3 h
We have to find the angle of elevation of sun that is ∠ θ
→ As we know ,
so,
and we know
Hence,
Question
If √3 tan θ = 1 , then find the value of sin²θ - cos²θ.
Solution
As given
Also,
Hence , we found
We have to find
Using,
so,
Question
A ladder 15 metres long just reaches the top of a vertical wall . If the ladder makes an angle of 60° with the wall , find the height of the wall.
Solution
In the figure ,
PR is the ladder , RQ is the Wall with height x
We have to find the height of wall
so,
Hence , height of wall is .
tan θ + tan(90 - θ) = sec θ sec(90 - θ)
Find the angle of elevation of the sun when shadow of a pole h metres high is √3 h metres long.
If √3 tan θ = 1 , then find the value of sin²θ - cos²θ.
A ladder 5m long, leans against a wall so that it makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal ground. calculate how far up the wall the ladder reaches.
