The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression: \[ \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{|a| \sin \theta} \] given that \(\tan \theta = \frac{a}{b}\) and \(0 < \theta < \pi\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Start with the given relationship**: \[ \tan \theta = \frac{a}{b} \] This implies that: \[ \frac{b}{a} = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} = \cot \theta \] 2. **Rewrite the expression**: We need to evaluate: \[ \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{|a| \sin \theta} \] 3. **Express \(b\) in terms of \(a\) and \(\tan \theta\)**: From \(\tan \theta = \frac{a}{b}\), we can express \(b\) as: \[ b = \frac{a}{\tan \theta} \] 4. **Substitute \(b\) into the expression**: Substitute \(b\) into the expression \(a^2 + b^2\): \[ a^2 + b^2 = a^2 + \left(\frac{a}{\tan \theta}\right)^2 = a^2 + \frac{a^2}{\tan^2 \theta} = a^2 \left(1 + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta}\right) \] 5. **Use the identity for \(\tan\)**: Recall that: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{\tan^2 \theta} = \frac{\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} \] Thus: \[ a^2 + b^2 = a^2 \cdot \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} = \frac{a^2}{\sin^2 \theta} \] 6. **Take the square root**: Now, we take the square root: \[ \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \sqrt{\frac{a^2}{\sin^2 \theta}} = \frac{|a|}{|\sin \theta|} \] 7. **Substitute back into the expression**: Now substituting back into the original expression: \[ \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{|a| \sin \theta} = \frac{\frac{|a|}{|\sin \theta|}}{|a| \sin \theta} = \frac{1}{|\sin \theta| \sin \theta} \] 8. **Simplify the expression**: Since \(|\sin \theta| = \sin \theta\) for \(0 < \theta < \pi\): \[ \frac{1}{\sin^2 \theta} \] 9. **Final Result**: Therefore, the value of the expression is: \[ 1 \]
