Let us first draw a right ABC right angled at B and .
Given: cosec = , but sin = =
Also, sin = =
So, =
Thus, BC = k and AC = k

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we have:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AB2 = AC2 BC2
⇒ AB2 = ( k)2 (k)2
⇒ AB2 = 9k2
⇒ AB = 3k
∴ sec = =

Given: tan = , but tan =
So, =
Thus, BC = 8k and AB = 15k

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we have:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AC2 = (15k)2 + (8k)2
⇒ AC2 = 289k2
⇒ AC = 17k
∴ cosec =

Let us first draw a right ABC right angled at B and .
Given: sin θ = , but sin θ =
So, =
Thus, BC = ak and AC = bk

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we have:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AB2 = AC2 BC2
⇒ AB2 = (bk)2 (ak)2
⇒ AB2 = k2
⇒ AB = ()k
∴ cos θ = = =

But tan θ =
So, =
Thus, BC = k and AB = k

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AC2 = ( k)2 + (k)2
⇒ AC2= 4k2
⇒ AC = 2k
∴ sec θ =

Let us first draw a right ABC right angled at B and .
Given: sec θ =
But cos θ = = =
Thus, AC = 25k and AB = 7k

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ BC2 = AC2 AB2
⇒ BC2 = (25k)2 (7k)2
⇒ BC2= 576k2
⇒ BC = 24k
∴ sin θ =

Answer:
(b)
Given: sinθ = , but sinθ =
So, =
Thus, BC = k and AC = 2k

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we have:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
AB2 = AC2 BC2
AB2 = (2k)2 (k)2
AB2 = 3k2
AB = k
So, tanθ = = =
∴ cotθ = =

Since cosθ = but cosθ =
So, =
Thus, AB = 4k and AC = 5k

Using Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC, we have:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ BC2 = AC2 AB2
⇒ BC2 = (5k)2 (4k)2
⇒ BC2 = 9k2
⇒ BC = 3k
∴ tanθ = =

Let us first draw a right ABC right angled at B and .
tan θ =
So, AB = 3k and BC = 4k

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ AC2 = (3k)2 + (4k)2
⇒ AC2 = 25k2
⇒ AC= 5k
Thus, sin θ = =

We have (tan θ +cot θ) = 5
Squaring both sides, we get:
(tan θ +cot θ)2 = 52
⇒ tan2 θ + cot2 θ + 2 tan θ cot θ = 25
