Q6 of 164 Page 41

If 29cosθ = 20 find sec2 θ – tan2 θ.


29cosθ = 20

⇒ cosθ = 20/29



Let the third side be p,


By Pythagoras theorem,


⇒ 202 + p2 = 292


⇒ 400 + p2 = 841


⇒ p2 = 441


⇒ p = 21



Therefore, the other angles are:


sec θ =


tan θ =


Putting the values in function:


⇒ sec2 θ – tan2 θ


⇒


⇒


⇒
