Example 9
Express the ratios cos A, tan A and sec A in terms of sin A.
cos A
Since,
cos2 A + sin2 A = 1
cos2 A = 1 โ sin2 A
cos A = ยฑโ(๐ โ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ)
Here, A is acute (i.e. less than 90ยฐ)
& cos A is positive when A is acute
So, cos A = โ(๐ โ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ)
sec A
sec A = 1/cosโกใ ๐ดใ
sec A = ๐/โ(๐ โ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ)
tan A
We know that
tan A = ๐ ๐๐โกใ ๐ดใ/๐๐๐ โกใ ๐ดใ
Putting value of cos A
tan A = ๐๐๐โกใ ๐จใ/โ(๐ โ ๐๐๐๐ ๐จ)
