Question:

If cot θ = $\sqrt{2}+1$, then cosec θ sec θ = ?

Options:

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}$

$2\sqrt{2}$

$4\sqrt{2}$

Correct Answer:

$2\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

cot θ = \(\frac{√2 + 1}{1}\)

{ we know, cot θ = \(\frac{B}{P}\) }

By using pythagoras theorem ,

P² + B² = H²

1² + (√2 + 1)² = H²

H² = 4 + 2√2

Now,

cosecθ . secθ

= \(\frac{H}{P}\) . \(\frac{H}{B}\)

= \(\frac{4 + 2√2}{√2 + 1}\)

= 2√2
