If 8cotθ=78cotθ=7,then the value of1+sinθcosθ1+sinθ\over cosθis:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 8+11378+\sqrt113\over 7.

8cotθ = 7

⇒ cotθ = 7/8 = Base/Height

Hypotenuse = √(Base2 + Height2) = √(72 + 82) = √49 + 64 = √113

Now, (1 + sinθ)/cosθ = (1 + 8/√113)/(7/√113)

= [(√113 + 8)/√113]/[7 / √113]

= (8 + √113)/7

Therefore, the value of (1 + sinθ)/cosθ is (8 + √113)/7.
