The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \((\sec A)/(\csc B) - (\tan A)/(\cot B)\) given that the angles of triangle \(ABC\) are in the ratio \(1:1:2\) with the largest angle being angle \(C\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Angles**: Let the angles of triangle \(ABC\) be: - Angle \(A = x\) - Angle \(B = x\) - Angle \(C = 2x\) 2. **Use the Angle Sum Property**: According to the angle sum property of triangles, the sum of the angles in a triangle is \(180^\circ\): \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] Substituting the values we defined: \[ x + x + 2x = 180^\circ \] This simplifies to: \[ 4x = 180^\circ \] 3. **Solve for \(x\)**: Divide both sides by \(4\): \[ x = \frac{180^\circ}{4} = 45^\circ \] 4. **Determine the Angles**: Now we can find the measures of the angles: - Angle \(A = 45^\circ\) - Angle \(B = 45^\circ\) - Angle \(C = 90^\circ\) 5. **Calculate Trigonometric Values**: Now we need to calculate the trigonometric values: - \(\sec A = \sec 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\cos 45^\circ} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \sqrt{2}\) - \(\csc B = \csc 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sin 45^\circ} = \frac{1}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} = \sqrt{2}\) - \(\tan A = \tan 45^\circ = 1\) - \(\cot B = \cot 45^\circ = 1\) 6. **Substitute Values into the Expression**: Now substitute these values into the expression: \[ \frac{\sec A}{\csc B} - \frac{\tan A}{\cot B} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} - \frac{1}{1} \] 7. **Simplify the Expression**: This simplifies to: \[ 1 - 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \((\sec A)/(\csc B) - (\tan A)/(\cot B)\) is \(0\).
