(i) Consider a ΔABC, right-angled at B

Trigonometry
Trigonometry

So, Tan A < 1 is not always true

Hence, the given statement is false

 

Trigonometry

Let AC be 12k, AB will be 5k, where k is a positive integer

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

(12k)2 = (5k)2 + BC2

144k2 = 25k2 + BC2

BC2 = 119k2

BC = 10.9k

It can be observed that for given two sides AC = 12k and AB = 5k,

BC should be such that,

AC - AB < BC < AC + AB

12k - 5k < BC < 12k + 5k

7k < BC < 17 k

However, BC = 10.9k. Clearly, such a triangle is possible and hence, such value of sec A is possible Hence, the given statement is true

(iii)Abbreviation used for cosecant of angle A is cosec A. And Cos A is the abbreviation used for cosine of angle A Hence, the given statement is false

(iv)Cot A is not the product of cot and A. It is the cotangent of ∠A

Hence, the given statement is false

(v)              Trigonometry

In a right-angled triangle, hypotenuse is always greater than the remaining two sides. Therefore, such value of sin θ is not possible

Hence, the given statement is false

Consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

If AB is 4k, then BC will be 3k, where k is a positive integer

In ΔABC,

(AC)2 = (AB)2 + (BC)2

= (4k)2 + (3k)2

= 16k2 + 9k2

= 25k2

AC = 5k

Let us consider a right triangle ABC, right-angled at point B

Trigonometry

Trigonometry

=7/8  If BC is 7k, then AB will be 8k, where k is a positive integer.

Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC, we obtain

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

= (8k)2 + (7k)2

= 64k2 + 49k2

= 113k2
