If in a right angled ΔPQR , tanQ = 5/12, then what is the value of cos Q?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
We are given that :-
tanQ = \(\frac{5}{12}\)
{ we know , tanQ = \(\frac{P}{B}\) }
By using pythagoras theorem,
P² + B² = H²
5² + 12² = H²
H = 13
Now,
cosQ
= \(\frac{B}{H}\)
= \(\frac{12}{13}\)
