If $sin A =\frac{1}{2}$, then the value of $(tan A + cos A)$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
We are given that :-
sinA = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
{ we know, sinA = \(\frac{P}{H}\) }
By using pythagoras theorem,
P² + B² = H²
1² + B² = 2²
B² = 4 - 1
B = \(\sqrt {3 }\)
Now,
tanA + cosA
= \(\frac{P}{B}\) + \(\frac{B}{H}\)
= \(\frac{1}{ √3 }\) + \(\frac{√3}{2}\)
= \(\frac{5}{ 2√3 }\)
