The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sec(5A) = \csc(4A - 18^\circ) \) given that \( 5A \) is an acute angle, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the equation We start with the equation: \[ \sec(5A) = \csc(4A - 18^\circ) \] ### Step 2: Use the identity for cosecant Recall the identity that relates secant and cosecant: \[ \sec(\theta) = \csc(90^\circ - \theta) \] Using this identity, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \sec(5A) = \csc(90^\circ - 5A) \] Thus, we can equate: \[ \csc(90^\circ - 5A) = \csc(4A - 18^\circ) \] ### Step 3: Set the angles equal Since the cosecant function is equal when their angles are equal, we can set up the equation: \[ 90^\circ - 5A = 4A - 18^\circ \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation Now, we will simplify the equation: \[ 90^\circ + 18^\circ = 4A + 5A \] This simplifies to: \[ 108^\circ = 9A \] ### Step 5: Solve for A Now, we can solve for \( A \): \[ A = \frac{108^\circ}{9} = 12^\circ \] ### Step 6: Verify the acute angle condition We need to check if \( 5A \) is an acute angle: \[ 5A = 5 \times 12^\circ = 60^\circ \] Since \( 60^\circ \) is indeed an acute angle, our solution is valid. ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( A \) is: \[ \boxed{12^\circ} \]
