Question:

If cosec θ $=\frac{41}{9}$ and θ is an acute angle, then the value of 5 tan θ will be:

Options:

$\frac{11}{8}$

$\frac{13}{4}$

$\frac{7}{8}$

$\frac{9}{8}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{9}{8}$

Explanation:

cosec θ = \(\frac{41 }{9}\) = \(\frac{H }{P}\)

B y using pythogoras theorem ,

H²  = B² + P²

(41)² = B² + (9)²

B² = 1681 - 81 = 1600

B = 40

Now ,

 5 tan θ =  5 ×  \(\frac{9 }{40}\)     ( tan θ = \(\frac{P }{B}\) )

=  \(\frac{9 }{8}\)
