Question

If θ is an acute angle and tanθ = 4855\frac{48}{55}​, then what is the value of cosecθ?

A.

7348\frac{73}{48}​​

B.

7355\frac{73}{55}​​

C.

5548\frac{55}{48}​​

D.

4873\frac{48}{73}​​

Correct option is A

Given:

tanθ=4855\tan \theta = \frac{48}{55}​​

θ is an acute angle

Formula Used:
In a right-angled triangle,

tanθ=Perpendicular Base,\tan \theta = \frac{\text{Perpendicular }}{\text{Base}},​​

cosecθ=HypotenusePerpendicular\cosec \theta = \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}​​

Solution:
Given: tanθ=4855\tan \theta = \frac{48}{55}​, so

Perpendicular = 48, Base = 55

Hypotenuse =482+552=2304+3025=5329=73 \sqrt{48^2 + 55^2} = \sqrt{2304 + 3025} = \sqrt{5329} = 73​​

So, cosecθ=7348\cosec \theta = \frac{73}{48}
