If tan θ + sec θ = 7, θ being acute, then the value of 5 sin θ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Given :-
tan θ + sec θ = 7 -----(1)
Then , sec θ - tan θ = \(\frac{1}{7}\) -----------(2)
Adding equation 1 & 2
2sec θ = 7 + \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{50}{7}\)
sec θ = \(\frac{25}{7}\)
H = 25 , B = 7
By using pythagoras theorem
P2 + B2 = H2
P2 + 72 = 252
P = 24
So , 5sinθ = 5 × \(\frac{24}{25}\) = \(\frac{24}{5}\)
