Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

You can't simplify 5/6 since while 6 would divide in half to be 3 and match the other denominator, 5 wouldn't divide in half evenly. Instead, multiply the top and bottom number of the other fraction by two:

5/6 - 4/6

This way they share equal denominators. When subtracting fractions with matching denominators, the denominator doesn't change in the answer. Just subtract the numerators:

5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6

This is already in simplest form.

1.In a right triangle, <A and <B are acute. Find the value of csc A, when tan A = 8/15.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

(1) $csc A=\dfrac{17}{8}$

(2) $sec A=\dfrac{17}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Tan A=\dfrac{8}{15}\\$In Trigonometry, $Tan A=\dfrac{Opposite}{Adjacent}\\$Therefore:\\Opposite=8, Adjacent=15$

Using Pythagoras theorem

$Hypotenuse^2=Opposite^2+Adjacent^2\\Hypotenuse^2=8^2+15^2\\Hypotenuse^2=289\\Hypotenuse^2=17^2\\Hypotenuse=17$

Question 1

Now, cosecant = 1/sin

Therefore:

$csc A=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Opposite}\\csc A=\dfrac{17}{8}$

Question 2

Now, secant = 1/cos

Therefore:

$sec A=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}\\sec A=\dfrac{17}{15}$
