The identity Sin(α)/Tan(α) = Cos(α) is valid

Trigonometry is study of triangles. All trigonometric ratios are defined using the sides of the right triangle, such as an adjacent side, opposite side, and hypotenuse side. Three major of them are as follows :-

Sine Function:

sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse

Cosine Function:

cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

Tangent Function:

tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent

Lets prove this identity by proceeding with the LHS

= Sin(α)/Tan(α)

= Sin(α)/ (Sin(α)/Cos(α)) (Tan(α) = Sin(α)/Cos(α))

= Sin(α)xCos(α) / Sin(α)

= Cos(α)

Hence verified
