If cos , then find the value of tan A + cot A (up to two places of decimal).
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 4.19.
Given that
If cos ,
the value of tan A + cot A
cos = B/H
By Pythagoras theorem
⇒ B² + P² = H²
⇒ P2 = 652 - 632 = 256
⇒ P = 16
Hence, tan A + cot A = P/B + B/P = 16/63 + 63/16 = 4.19
