Answer:


Tan A = (7)/(5) \\

Consider right angle triangle ABC,∠B= 90°.


tan = (Opposite)/(Adjacent) \\\\We \ get \ opposite = 7 \ and \ adjacent = 5\\hypotenuse^(2)= opposite^(2)+adjacent^(2)\\\\


= 49+25 = 74\\hypotenuse^(2) = 74\\hypotenuse = √(74) \\\\Sin A = (Opposite)/(hypotenuse) = (7)/(√(74) )


cosec A = (1)/(sinA) = (1)/((7)/(√(74) ) ) = (√(74) )/(7)
