State whether the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.
(i) The value of $tan\ A$ is always less than 1.
(ii) $sec\ A = \frac{12}{5}$ for some value of angle A.
(iii) $cos\ A$ is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle A.
(iv) $cot\ A$ is the product of cot and A.
(v) $sin\ θ = \frac{4}{3}$ for some angle.
To do:
We have to state whether the given statements are true or false.
Solution:
(i) $\tan\ A =\frac{side\ opposite\ to\ A}{side\ adjacent\ to\ A}$
$=\frac{BC}{AB}$
In a triangle ABC, $BC$ can be greater than $AB$.
Therefore,
$\frac{BC}{AB}$ can be greater than 1.
This implies the value of $tan\ A$ can be greater than 1.
The given statement is false.
(ii) $\sec\ A =\frac{Hypotenuse}{side\ adjacent\ to\ A}$
$=\frac{AC}{AB}$
In a triangle, ABC, $AC$(Hypotenuse) is greater than $AB$.
Therefore,
$\frac{AC}{AB}$ is greater than 1.
This implies \( \sec A=\frac{12}{5} \) for some value of angle \( A \).
The given statement is true.
(iii) \( cosec A \) is the abbreviation used for the cosecant of angle \( A . \)
\( \cos A \) is the abbreviation used for the cosine of angle \( A . \)
The given statement is false.
(iv) $\cot\ A =\frac{side\ adjacent\ to\ A}{side\ opposite\ to\ A}$
$=\frac{AB}{BC}$
$cot\ A$ is a single term. It is not a product of cot and A.
The given statement is false.
(v) Let $\sin \theta=\sin\ A =\frac{side\ opposite\ to\ A}{Hypotenuse}$
$=\frac{BC}{AC}$
In a triangle, ABC, $AC$(Hypotenuse) is greater than $BC$.
Therefore,
$\frac{BC}{AC}$ is less than 1. It is equal to 1 when angle A is equal to zero but never greater than 1.
This implies \( \sin \theta≠\frac{4}{3} \) for any value of angle \( \theta \).
The given statement is false.
