Q12 of 268 Page 4

If sec 5 θ =cosec (θ -36o), where 5 θ is an acute angle, find the value of θ.

sec 5θ = cosec (θ-36°) …(i)

We know that


sec θ = cosec (90° - θ)


So, Eq. (i) become


Cosec (90° - 5θ) = cosec (θ -36°)


On Equating both the sides, we get


90° - 5θ = θ -36°


-5θ - θ = -36° -90°


-6θ = -126°


θ = 21°
