Fair calculation

Cot2θ = cos2θ /sin2θ

1 – sin2θ = cos2θ

Given

Cos2θ/(Cot2θ – Cos2θ) = 3

 

Cos2θ/(Cot2θ – Cos2θ) = 3

Using the formula:

⇒ Sin2θ/(1 – sin2θ) = 3

⇒ Sin2θ/cos2θ = 3

⇒ tan2θ = 3

⇒ tanθ = √3

⇒ θ = 60°

So,

cot 60° + cosec60°

= 1/√3 + 2/√3

= √3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

= 1/√3 + 2/√3

= 3/√3

= √3
