Question

State whether the following are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) The value of tanA is always less than 1.
(ii) secA=125 for some value of angle A.
(iii) cosA is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A.
(iv) cotA is the product of cot and A.
(v) sinθ=43 for some angle θ.

Solution

(i) False
B=90o, AB=3,BC=4,AC=5

tanA=43>d. ...(AC2=AB2+BC2)

(ii) True
AC2=AB2+BC2
(12x)2=(5x)2+BC2,
BC=119x
(it is possible) Pythagoras theorem

(iii) False
cosA is cosine A, cscA is cosecant

(iv) False
cotA = cotangent of A not product of cot and A.

(v) False
sinθ=perpendicularhypotenuse

sinθ>1; 43>1 [ hypotenuse > base > perpendicular]
sinθ will always less than 1.
