Question

If cot a =5/12 then find the value of cosec A​

Answer 1

cosec A = 13/12

Explanation:

Mathematically, we want to find the value of cosec A

sides 5,12 and 13 represent a Pythagorean triple. This means the last side of the right-triangle that contains 5 and 12 is 13

cot is the ratio of the adjacent to the opposite

Hence ; 5 represents the adjacent while 12 represents the opposite

cosec is the inverse of sine which is the hypotenuse to the opposite ratio

So, we have ;

cosec A = 13/12
