Answer 1

Given:

b sin θ= a

Concept used:

sinθ = Perpendicular/ Hypotenuse

secθ = Hypotenuse/ Base

tanθ = Perpendicular/ Base

Calculation:

bsinθ = a

sinθ = a/b

So, Perpendicular = a & Hypotenuse = b

(Hypotenuse)²= (Perpendicular)²+ (Base)²

b²= a²+ Base²

base²= b²- a²

secθ = Hypotenuse/ base= b/

tanθ= perpendicular/ base= a/

So, secθ+ tanθ = b/+ (a/)

secθ + tanθ = (b+ a)/()

∵ (b + a) = √(b + a) × √(b + a)

⇒ secθ + tanθ = /

secθ+ tanθ=
