Solution:
Given:
△PQR is right-angled at Q.
PQ = 4cm
RQ = 3cm
Required to find: sin P, sin R, sec P, sec R
Given △PQR,
By using Pythagoras theorem to △PQR, we get
PR2 = PQ2 +RQ2
Substituting the respective values,
PR2 = 42 +32
PR2 = 16 + 9
PR2 = 25
PR = √25
PR = 5
⇒ Hypotenuse =5
By definition,
sin P = Perpendicular side opposite to angle P/ Hypotenuse
sin P = RQ/ PR
⇒ sin P = 3/5
And,
sin R = Perpendicular side opposite to angle R/ Hypotenuse
sin R = PQ/ PR
⇒ sin R = 4/5
And,
sec P=1/cos P
secP = Hypotenuse/ Base side adjacent to ∠P
sec P = PR/ PQ
⇒ sec P = 5/4
Now,
sec R = 1/cos R
secR = Hypotenuse/ Base side adjacent to ∠R
sec R = PR/ RQ
⇒ sec R = 5/3
