The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will use the properties of right triangles and trigonometric ratios. ### Given: - Triangle ABC with angle B = 90° - AB = 24 cm (opposite to angle C) - AC = 26 cm (hypotenuse) ### Step 1: Find the length of BC using the Pythagorean theorem. According to the Pythagorean theorem: \[ AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2 \] Substituting the known values: \[ 26^2 = 24^2 + BC^2 \] Calculating the squares: \[ 676 = 576 + BC^2 \] Now, isolate \( BC^2 \): \[ BC^2 = 676 - 576 \] \[ BC^2 = 100 \] Taking the square root: \[ BC = \sqrt{100} = 10 \, \text{cm} \] ### Step 2: Find \( \tan A \) Using the definition of tangent: \[ \tan A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \] For angle A: - Opposite side = BC = 10 cm - Adjacent side = AB = 24 cm Thus, \[ \tan A = \frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12} \] ### Step 3: Find \( \cot C \) Using the definition of cotangent: \[ \cot C = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} \] For angle C: - Adjacent side = AB = 24 cm - Opposite side = BC = 10 cm Thus, \[ \cot C = \frac{24}{10} = \frac{12}{5} \] ### Step 4: Find \( \cos C \) Using the definition of cosine: \[ \cos C = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \] For angle C: - Adjacent side = AB = 24 cm - Hypotenuse = AC = 26 cm Thus, \[ \cos C = \frac{24}{26} = \frac{12}{13} \] ### Step 5: Find \( \sin C \) Using the definition of sine: \[ \sin C = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \] For angle C: - Opposite side = BC = 10 cm - Hypotenuse = AC = 26 cm Thus, \[ \sin C = \frac{10}{26} = \frac{5}{13} \] ### Step 6: Find \( \csc A \) Using the definition of cosecant: \[ \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} \] We know \( \sin A = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \): - Opposite side = BC = 10 cm - Hypotenuse = AC = 26 cm Thus, \[ \sin A = \frac{10}{26} = \frac{5}{13} \] So, \[ \csc A = \frac{1}{\sin A} = \frac{13}{5} \] ### Step 7: Find \( \sec A \) Using the definition of secant: \[ \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} \] We know \( \cos A = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \): - Adjacent side = AB = 24 cm - Hypotenuse = AC = 26 cm Thus, \[ \cos A = \frac{24}{26} = \frac{12}{13} \] So, \[ \sec A = \frac{1}{\cos A} = \frac{13}{12} \] ### Summary of Results: 1. \( \tan A = \frac{5}{12} \) 2. \( \cot C = \frac{12}{5} \) 3. \( \cos C = \frac{12}{13} \) 4. \( \sin C = \frac{5}{13} \) 5. \( \csc A = \frac{13}{5} \) 6. \( \sec A = \frac{13}{12} \)
