Question:

If cot B = $\frac{12}{5}$, what is the value of sec B ?

Options:

$\frac{5}{12}$

$\frac{13}{12}$

$\frac{13}{5}$

$\frac{12}{13}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{13}{12}$

Explanation:

cotB = \(\frac{12}{5}\) 

Using pythagoras theorem ,

P2 + B2 = H2

52 + 122 = H2

H2 = 169

H = 13

Now , secB = \(\frac{13}{12}\)
