\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle ABC,\ AB=8,\ BC=17.
\displaystyle AC=\sqrt{BC^2-AB^2}=\sqrt{17^2-8^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{289-64}=\sqrt{225}=15.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\cos B=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac8{17}.

\displaystyle =\frac{225+64}{289}=\frac{289}{289}=1.

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\sin B=\frac{15}{17},\quad\cos C=\frac{15}{17},
\displaystyle \cos B=\frac8{17},\quad\sin C=\frac8{17}.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\tan A=\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac43,\quad \sec A=\frac{AB}{AD}=\frac53.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan^2A-\sec^2A=\left(\frac43\right)^2-\left(\frac53\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac{16}{9}-\frac{25}{9}=-1.

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\sin C=\frac{BD}{BC}=\frac4{12}=\frac13.

\displaystyle \text{(v) }\sec C=\frac{BC}{DC}=\frac{12}{8\sqrt2}
\displaystyle =\frac{3}{2\sqrt2}=\frac{3\sqrt2}{4}.

\displaystyle \text{(vi) }\cot C=\frac{DC}{BD}=\frac{8\sqrt2}{4}=2\sqrt2.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\sec B=\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{13}{5},\quad \tan B=\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{12}{5}.
\displaystyle \therefore \sec^2B-\tan^2B=\left(\frac{13}{5}\right)^2-\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac{169-144}{25}=\frac{25}{25}=1.

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\sin C=\frac{AD}{AC}=\frac{12}{20}=\frac35,
\displaystyle \cos C=\frac{DC}{AC}=\frac{16}{20}=\frac45.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin^2C+\cos^2C=\left(\frac35\right)^2+\left(\frac45\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac9{25}+\frac{16}{25}=1.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 5: }\text{Given: }\sin A=\frac35,\text{ find:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) }\tan A\qquad\text{(ii) }\cos A

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\sec A=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{a\sqrt2}{a}=\sqrt2.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\cos A=\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{a}{a\sqrt2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2},
\displaystyle \sin A=\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{a}{a\sqrt2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}.
\displaystyle \therefore \cos^2A+\sin^2A=\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)^2+\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac12+\frac12=1.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 7: }\text{Given: }\cos A=\frac{5}{13},\text{ evaluate:}

\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Perpendicular}=\sqrt{(13x)^2-(5x)^2}=\sqrt{144x^2}=12x.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin A=\frac{12}{13},\quad\tan A=\frac{12}{5},\quad\cot A=\frac{5}{12}.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\frac{\sin A-\cot A}{2\tan A}=\frac{\frac{12}{13}-\frac{5}{12}}{2\times\frac{12}{5}}
\displaystyle =\frac{\frac{144-65}{156}}{\frac{24}{5}}=\frac{79}{156}\times\frac{5}{24}=\frac{395}{3744}.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\cot A+\frac{1}{\cos A}=\frac{5}{12}+\frac{13}{5}

\displaystyle \text{Let hypotenuse }=29x\text{ and base }=21x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Perpendicular}=\sqrt{(29x)^2-(21x)^2}=\sqrt{400x^2}=20x.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin A=\frac{20}{29},\quad\tan A=\frac{20}{21}.
\displaystyle \sin A-\frac{1}{\tan A}=\frac{20}{29}-\frac{21}{20}
\displaystyle =\frac{400-609}{580}=-\frac{209}{580}.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \text{Let perpendicular }=4x\text{ and base }=5x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(4x)^2+(5x)^2}=\sqrt{41}\,x.
\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{cosec}\,A=\frac{\sqrt{41}}4,\quad\cot A=\frac54,\quad\sec A=\frac{\sqrt{41}}5.
\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{cosec}\,A}{\cot A-\sec A}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{41}}4}{\frac54-\frac{\sqrt{41}}5}
\displaystyle =\frac{\frac{\sqrt{41}}4}{\frac{25-4\sqrt{41}}{20}}=\frac{5\sqrt{41}}{25-4\sqrt{41}}
\displaystyle =\frac{5\sqrt{41}(25+4\sqrt{41})}{625-16(41)}
\displaystyle =-\frac{5\sqrt{41}(25+4\sqrt{41})}{31}
\displaystyle =-\frac{820+125\sqrt{41}}{31}.

\displaystyle 4\cot A=3\Rightarrow\cot A=\frac34=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Perpendicular}}.
\displaystyle \text{Let base }=3x\text{ and perpendicular }=4x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(3x)^2+(4x)^2}=\sqrt{25x^2}=5x.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin A=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{4x}{5x}=\frac45.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\sec A=\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Base}}=\frac{5x}{3x}=\frac53.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\mathrm{cosec}\,A=\frac54,\quad\cot A=\frac34.
\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{cosec}^2A-\cot^2A=\left(\frac54\right)^2-\left(\frac34\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac{25}{16}-\frac9{16}=\frac{16}{16}=1.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \text{Let perpendicular }=p\text{ and hypotenuse }=q.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Base}=\sqrt{q^2-p^2}.
\displaystyle \therefore \cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt{q^2-p^2}}{q}.
\displaystyle \therefore \cos\theta+\sin\theta=\frac{\sqrt{q^2-p^2}}{q}+\frac{p}{q}
\displaystyle =\frac{\sqrt{q^2-p^2}+p}{q}.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \cos A=\frac12=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}.
\displaystyle \text{Let base }=x\text{ and hypotenuse }=2x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, perpendicular}=\sqrt{(2x)^2-x^2}=\sqrt3x.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan A=\frac{\sqrt3x}{x}=\sqrt3.
\displaystyle \sin B=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}.
\displaystyle \text{Let perpendicular }=x\text{ and hypotenuse }=\sqrt2x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, base}=\sqrt{(\sqrt2x)^2-x^2}=x.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan B=\frac{x}{x}=1.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{\tan A-\tan B}{1+\tan A\tan B}=\frac{\sqrt3-1}{1+\sqrt3}
\displaystyle =\frac{(\sqrt3-1)(\sqrt3-1)}{(1+\sqrt3)(\sqrt3-1)}
\displaystyle =\frac{4-2\sqrt3}{2}=2-\sqrt3.

\displaystyle \text{Let base }=12x\text{ and perpendicular }=5x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(12x)^2+(5x)^2}=\sqrt{169x^2}=13x.
\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{cosec}\,\theta=\frac{13}{5},\quad\sec\theta=\frac{13}{12}.
\displaystyle \therefore \mathrm{cosec}\,\theta+\sec\theta=\frac{13}{5}+\frac{13}{12}
\displaystyle =\frac{156+65}{60}=\frac{221}{60}.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(4a)^2+(3a)^2}=\sqrt{25a^2}=5a.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin x=\frac45,\quad\cos x=\frac35.
\displaystyle \therefore 4\sin^2x-3\cos^2x+2
\displaystyle =4\left(\frac45\right)^2-3\left(\frac35\right)^2+2
\displaystyle =\frac{64}{25}-\frac{27}{25}+\frac{50}{25}
\displaystyle =\frac{87}{25}.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }2+\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}-\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \mathrm{cosec}\,\theta=\sqrt5\Rightarrow\sin\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt5}.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin^2\theta=\frac15.
\displaystyle \cos^2\theta=1-\sin^2\theta=1-\frac15=\frac45.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }2-\sin^2\theta-\cos^2\theta=2-\frac15-\frac45
\displaystyle =2-1=1.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }2+\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}-\frac{\cos^2\theta}{\sin^2\theta}
\displaystyle =2+\frac{1}{1/5}-\frac{4/5}{1/5}
\displaystyle =2+5-4=3.

\displaystyle \frac{3\cos^2A+5\tan^2A}{4\tan^2A-\sin^2A}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \sec A=\sqrt2\Rightarrow\cos A=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}.
\displaystyle \therefore \cos^2A=\frac12.
\displaystyle \sin^2A=1-\cos^2A=1-\frac12=\frac12.
\displaystyle \tan^2A=\frac{\sin^2A}{\cos^2A}=\frac{1/2}{1/2}=1.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{3\cos^2A+5\tan^2A}{4\tan^2A-\sin^2A}
\displaystyle =\frac{3\left(\frac12\right)+5(1)}{4(1)-\frac12}
\displaystyle =\frac{\frac32+5}{4-\frac12}=\frac{13/2}{7/2}=\frac{13}{7}.

\displaystyle \text{Let base }=x\text{ and perpendicular }=x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse}=\sqrt{x^2+x^2}=x\sqrt2.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\theta=\frac{x}{x}=1,\quad\sin\theta=\frac{x}{x\sqrt2}=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}.
\displaystyle \therefore 5\tan^2\theta+2\sin^2\theta-3
\displaystyle =5(1)^2+2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\right)^2-3
\displaystyle =5+1-3=3.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\cot x=\frac{AD}{CD}=\frac{24}{10}=\frac{12}{5}.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\sin y=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{24}{40}=\frac35,
\displaystyle \tan y=\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{24}{32}=\frac34.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{1}{\sin^2y}-\frac{1}{\tan^2y}
\displaystyle =\frac{1}{(3/5)^2}-\frac{1}{(3/4)^2}
\displaystyle =\frac{25}{9}-\frac{16}{9}=1.

\displaystyle \cos y=\frac{DB}{AB}=\frac{32}{40}=\frac45,\quad\tan y=\frac34.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{6}{\cos x}-\frac{5}{\cos y}+8\tan y
\displaystyle =\frac{6}{12/13}-\frac{5}{4/5}+8\left(\frac34\right)
\displaystyle =\frac{13}{2}-\frac{25}{4}+6

\displaystyle =\frac{\sqrt3}{2}.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\sec x^\circ=\frac{2}{1}=2,\quad\tan x^\circ=\frac{\sqrt3}{1}=\sqrt3.

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle ABC,\ AB=4\text{ cm and }BC=3\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{25}=5\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \text{Since }BD\perp AC,\ \triangle BDC\sim\triangle ABC\text{ and }\triangle BDA\sim\triangle ABC.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\angle DBC=\angle A.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\angle DBC=\tan A=\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac34.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\angle DBA=\angle C.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin\angle DBA=\sin C=\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac45.

\displaystyle \text{find }\cos\angle ABC.
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Draw }AD\perp BC.
\displaystyle \text{Since }AB=AC,\ AD\text{ bisects }BC.
\displaystyle \therefore BD=DC=\frac{18}{2}=9\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle ABD,
\displaystyle \cos\angle ABC=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{BD}{AB}
\displaystyle =\frac{9}{15}=\frac35.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 6: }\text{In the figure given below, }ABC\text{ is an isosceles triangle with }BC=8\text{ cm}

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\tan C-\cot B \displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Draw }AD\perp BC.
\displaystyle \text{Since }AB=AC,\ AD\text{ bisects }BC.
\displaystyle \therefore BD=DC=\frac{8}{2}=4\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle ABD,
\displaystyle AD=\sqrt{AB^2-BD^2}=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=\sqrt9=3\text{ cm}.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin B=\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac35.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\tan C=\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac34.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\cos B=\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac45.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin^2B+\cos^2B=\left(\frac35\right)^2+\left(\frac45\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac9{25}+\frac{16}{25}=1.

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\cot B=\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac43.

\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 7: }\text{In triangle }ABC,\ \angle ABC=90^\circ,\ \angle CAB=x^\circ,
\displaystyle \tan x^\circ=\frac34\text{ and }BC=15\text{ cm. Find the measures of }AB\text{ and }AC.
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \tan x^\circ=\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac34.
\displaystyle \frac{15}{AB}=\frac34
\displaystyle 3AB=60
\displaystyle \therefore AB=20\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle AC=\sqrt{AB^2+BC^2}=\sqrt{20^2+15^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{400+225}=\sqrt{625}=25\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \therefore AB=20\text{ cm and }AC=25\text{ cm}.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Write an expression for }AD\text{ in terms of }\theta. \displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{In right-angled }\triangle BCD,\ BD=13,\ BC=12.
\displaystyle CD=\sqrt{BD^2-BC^2}=\sqrt{13^2-12^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{169-144}=\sqrt{25}=5.
\displaystyle \text{Since }AB=14,\text{ the vertical distance between }A\text{ and }D=14-5=9.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin\phi=\frac{CD}{BD}=\frac5{13}.
\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{12}{9}=\frac43.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\sin\theta=\frac{12}{AD}.
\displaystyle \therefore AD=\frac{12}{\sin\theta}=12\,\mathrm{cosec}\,\theta.
\displaystyle \text{Equivalently, }AD=9\sec\theta.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 9: }\text{In the given figure, }BC=15\text{ cm and }\sin B=\frac45.
\displaystyle \text{(i) Calculate the measures of }AB\text{ and }AC.
\displaystyle \text{(ii) Now, if }\tan\angle ADC=1,\text{ calculate the measures of }CD\text{ and }AD.
\displaystyle \text{Also, show that: }\tan^2B-\frac{1}{\cos^2B}=-1. \displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{Since }AC\perp BD,\ \triangle ABC\text{ is right-angled at }C.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin B=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac45.
\displaystyle \text{Let }AC=4x\text{ and }AB=5x.
\displaystyle BC=\sqrt{AB^2-AC^2}=\sqrt{(5x)^2-(4x)^2}=3x.
\displaystyle 3x=15\Rightarrow x=5.
\displaystyle \therefore AC=4\times5=20\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \therefore AB=5\times5=25\text{ cm}.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) In right-angled }\triangle ACD,
\displaystyle \tan\angle ADC=\frac{AC}{CD}=1.
\displaystyle \frac{20}{CD}=1\Rightarrow CD=20\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle AD=\sqrt{AC^2+CD^2}=\sqrt{20^2+20^2}
\displaystyle =\sqrt{800}=20\sqrt2\text{ cm}.

\displaystyle \text{Also, }\tan B=\frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{20}{15}=\frac43,
\displaystyle \cos B=\frac{BC}{AB}=\frac{15}{25}=\frac35.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan^2B-\frac{1}{\cos^2B}
\displaystyle =\left(\frac43\right)^2-\frac{1}{(3/5)^2}
\displaystyle =\frac{16}{9}-\frac{25}{9}=-1.

\displaystyle \sin A+\mathrm{cosec}\,A=2.
\displaystyle \text{Squaring both sides,}
\displaystyle \sin^2A+\mathrm{cosec}^2A+2\sin A\,\mathrm{cosec}\,A=4.
\displaystyle \text{Since }\sin A\,\mathrm{cosec}\,A=1,
\displaystyle \sin^2A+\mathrm{cosec}^2A+2=4.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin^2A+\mathrm{cosec}^2A=2.

\displaystyle \text{Squaring both sides,}
\displaystyle \tan^2A+\cot^2A+2\tan A\cot A=25.
\displaystyle \text{Since }\tan A\cot A=1,
\displaystyle \tan^2A+\cot^2A+2=25.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan^2A+\cot^2A=23.

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle 4\sin\theta=3\cos\theta.
\displaystyle \frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\frac34.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\theta=\frac34=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}.
\displaystyle \text{Let perpendicular }=3x\text{ and base }=4x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(3x)^2+(4x)^2}=5x.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin\theta=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{3x}{5x}=\frac35.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\cos\theta=\frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{4x}{5x}=\frac45.

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\cot\theta=\frac43,\quad\mathrm{cosec}\,\theta=\frac53.
\displaystyle \therefore \cot^2\theta-\mathrm{cosec}^2\theta=\left(\frac43\right)^2-\left(\frac53\right)^2
\displaystyle =\frac{16}{9}-\frac{25}{9}=-1.

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }4\cos^2\theta-3\sin^2\theta+2
\displaystyle =4\left(\frac45\right)^2-3\left(\frac35\right)^2+2
\displaystyle =\frac{64}{25}-\frac{27}{25}+\frac{50}{25}
\displaystyle =\frac{87}{25}.

\displaystyle \text{Let base }=15x\text{ and hypotenuse }=17x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem,}
\displaystyle \text{Perpendicular}=\sqrt{(17x)^2-(15x)^2}=\sqrt{64x^2}=8x.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\theta=\frac{8}{15},\quad\sec\theta=\frac{17}{15}.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\theta+2\sec\theta=\frac8{15}+2\left(\frac{17}{15}\right)
\displaystyle =\frac{8+34}{15}=\frac{42}{15}=\frac{14}{5}.
\displaystyle \\

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle 5\cos A-12\sin A=0.
\displaystyle 5\cos A=12\sin A.
\displaystyle \frac{\sin A}{\cos A}=\frac5{12}.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan A=\frac5{12}=\frac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}.
\displaystyle \text{Let perpendicular }=5x\text{ and base }=12x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, hypotenuse}=\sqrt{(5x)^2+(12x)^2}=13x.
\displaystyle \therefore \sin A=\frac5{13},\quad\cos A=\frac{12}{13}.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{\sin A+\cos A}{2\cos A-\sin A}
\displaystyle =\frac{\frac5{13}+\frac{12}{13}}{2\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)-\frac5{13}}
\displaystyle =\frac{17/13}{19/13}=\frac{17}{19}.

\displaystyle \therefore AC=AD+DC=2DC.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\tan\angle CAB=\frac{BC}{AC},\quad\tan\angle CDB=\frac{BC}{DC}.
\displaystyle \therefore \frac{\tan\angle CAB}{\tan\angle CDB}
\displaystyle =\frac{BC}{AC}\times\frac{DC}{BC}=\frac{DC}{AC}=\frac12.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\tan\angle ABC=\frac{AC}{BC},\quad\tan\angle DBC=\frac{DC}{BC}.

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle 3\cos A=4\sin A.

\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle \text{The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.}
\displaystyle \therefore \angle AOB=90^\circ.

\displaystyle \text{Let }AO=3x\text{ and }AB=5x.
\displaystyle \text{By Pythagoras theorem, }OB=\sqrt{(5x)^2-(3x)^2}=4x.
\displaystyle 4x=8\Rightarrow x=2.
\displaystyle \therefore AO=3\times2=6\text{ cm and }AB=5\times2=10\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \therefore AC=2AO=2\times6=12\text{ cm}.
\displaystyle \therefore BD=2OB=2\times8=16\text{ cm}.

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 30: }\text{If }5\cos\theta=6\sin\theta,\text{ evaluate:}
\displaystyle \text{(i) }\tan\theta\qquad\text{(ii) }\frac{12\sin\theta-3\cos\theta}{12\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle 5\cos\theta=6\sin\theta.

\displaystyle \text{(i) }\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}=\frac56.
\displaystyle \therefore \tan\theta=\frac56.

\displaystyle \text{(ii) }\frac{12\sin\theta-3\cos\theta}{12\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}
\displaystyle =\frac{12\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}-3}{12\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}+3}
\displaystyle =\frac{12\tan\theta-3}{12\tan\theta+3}
\displaystyle =\frac{12\left(\frac56\right)-3}{12\left(\frac56\right)+3}
\displaystyle =\frac{10-3}{10+3}=\frac7{13}.
