Download Solution PDFGiven:
AB = 20 cm
BC = 21 cm
AC = 29 cm
Concept used:
Pythagoras' theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
Calculation:
Using pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
⇒ 292 = 202 + 212
ΔABC is a right angled triangle.
⇒ cot C = BC/AB = 21/20
⇒ cosec C = AC/AB = 29/20
⇒ tan A = BC/AB = 21/20
cot C + cosec C - 2tan A = 21/20 + 29/20 - 2 × 21/20
⇒ 8/20
⇒ 2/5
So, the value of cot C + cosec C - 2tan A = 2/5
