Ans. :
Give that 3cot A = 4
Or cot A = 4

Consider a right angle triangle ΔABC right angled at point B.

Side adjacent to ∠A
cot A =
Side opposite to ∠A

AB 4
=
BC 3

If AB is 4K, BC will be 3K. where K is a positive integer

Now in ΔABC
(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2
= (4K)2 + (3K)2
= 16 K2 + 9K2
= 25K2
AC = 5K

11. Prove the given identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which
the expressions are defined. (sin A + cosec A)2 + (cos A + sec A)2 = 7 + tan2A +
cot2A

Ans. : To prove: (sinA + cosecA)2 + (cosA + secA)2 = 7 + tan2A + cot2A

taking L.H.S
Using the formula (a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab to get,
= (sin2A + cosec2A + 2sinA cosecA) + (cos2A + sec2A + 2 cos A sec A)
Since sinθ = 1

cosecθ
and cos θ =
1

sec θ

2 2 1 2 2 1
= (sin A + csc A + 2 sin A ) + (cos A + sec A + 2 cos A )
sin A cos A

= sin2A + cosec2A + 2 + cos2A + sec2A + 2

= (sin2A + cos2A) + cosec2A + sec2A + 2 + 2
Using the identities sin2A + cos2A = 1, sec2A = 1 + tan2A and cosec2A = 1 + cot2A to
get

Page 3
 = 1+ 1 + tan2A + 1 + cot2A + 2 + 2
= 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 + tan2A + cot2A
= 7 + tan2A + cot2A
= R.H.S.
Hence proved
12. Prove that sin θ−cos θ+1
=
1
, using identity 2 2
sec θ = 1 + tan θ .
sin θ+cos θ−1 sec θ−tan θ

Ans. : We have to prove that, sin θ−cos θ+1

sin θ+cos θ−1

=
1

sec θ−tan θ
using identity 2 2
sec θ = 1 + tan θ

LHS = sin θ−cos θ+1

sin θ+cos θ−1

=
tan θ−1+sec θ

tan θ+1−sec θ
[ dividing the numerator and denominator by cos θ .]

[ Multiplying and dividing by
