If cot A = 7, then the value of is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 3.
cot A = = 7
cos A = 7sin A
Since cos A = 7sin A, we can put this into the expression:
(5(7sin A) + 4sin A)/ ((7sin A) + 7sin A + 6sin A)
=
According to the identity sin A + cos A = 1
sin A + (7sin A) = 1 (cos A = 7sin A)
⟹ sin A(1 + 49) = 1
⟹ sin A = 1/50
Hence
= = = 3
