KeerthanaPosted on If θ\thetaθ be acute angle and cosθ=1517\cos \theta=\frac{15}{17}cosθ=1715, then the value of cot(90∘−θ)\cot \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)cot(90∘−θ) is a2815\frac{2 \sqrt{8}}{15}1528 b815\frac{8}{15}158 c217\frac{\sqrt{2}}{17}172 d8217\frac{8 \sqrt{2}}{17}1782 Answer : Option BExplanation : cosθ=1517\cos \theta=\frac{15}{17}cosθ=1715 ∴sinθ=1−cos2θ\therefore \quad \sin \theta=\sqrt{1-\cos ^{2} \theta}∴sinθ=1−cos2θ =1−(1517)2=1−225289=\sqrt{1-\left(\frac{15}{17}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{1-\frac{225}{289}}=1−(1715)2=1−289225 =289−225289=64289=817=\sqrt{\frac{289-225}{289}}=\sqrt{\frac{64}{289}}=\frac{8}{17}=289289−225=28964=178 ∴cot(90∘−θ)=tanθ=sinθcosθ=8171517=815\therefore \cot \left(90^{\circ}-\theta\right)=\tan \theta=\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=\frac{\frac{8}{17}}{\frac{15}{17}}=\frac{8}{15}∴cot(90∘−θ)=tanθ=cosθsinθ=1715178=158 Rate This:NaN / 5 - 1 votesAdd comment
