Question
If 3 cot A = 4, check whether
or not.
Solution
Let us draw a right triangle right angled at B.
We have,
3 cot A = 4

Let AB = 4K and BC = 3K

We have,
3 cot A = 4


Let AB = 4K and BC = 3K

Using Pythagoras theorem, we have
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
= (4K)2 + (3K)2
= 16K2 + 9K2 = 25 K2
So, AC = 5K
Now,
and
L.H.S. =
Now,
R.H.S. =
Hence, L.H.S. = R.H.S.
