- Evaluate the expression
- We need to know the exact value of tan( ratio of high and base ) and cot( ratio of base and hight ) at 30 degree first.
- Secondly it's definite accordingly with angles.
Lets assume ∆ABC is a Right triangle having length of each sides a
As it's a Right triangle then angles will be 60° [ property of Right triangle ]
now we drew a right angle on BC from A ;
hence, DC = a/2
hence, tan 60° = AD/DC
Now, We need to find out the length of AD to evaluate the value of tan 60°
We know sin is the ratio of Hight and hypotenuse
hence, sin 60° = Hight/Hypotenuse = AD/a
=> a sin 60° = AD ____( 1 )
From Pythagoras theorem,
base²+hight² = hypotenuse ²
=> (a/2)² + AD² = a²
=> AD² = a² - a²/4
=> AD² = 3a/4
=> AD = √3a/2
substituting value in eqn ( 1 )
a sin 60° = √3a/2
sin 60° = √3/2____( 2 )
again cos 60° = base/hypotenuse
cos 60° = (a/2)/a => 1/2____( 3 )
as we know sin a / cos a = tan a
hence we can say tan 60 = ( √3/2 )/( 1/2 ) => √3
again we know tan a is inverse of cot a
hence cot 60° = 1/√3
