Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition,

\sec \theta=\dfrac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent leg}}.

If \sec \theta=\dfrac{25}{24}, we can consider right triangle with hypotenuse 25 un. and adjacent leg 24 un. By the Pythagorean theorem,

\text{hypotenuse}^2=\text{adjacent leg}^2+\text{opposite leg}^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=25^2-24^2,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=625-576,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}^2=49,\\ \\\text{opposite leg}=7\ un.

So,

\cot \theta=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{opposite leg}}=\dfrac{24}{7}.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b

Cot θ  = 24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Sec θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent side

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side

It is given that,

secθ = 25/24

Hypotenuse =25

Adjacent side = 24

<u>To find opposite side</u>

Opposite side of θ = √(25² -  24²) = √625 - 576 = 7

<u>To find cot θ  </u>

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side = 24/7

Therefore the correct answer is option b

Cot θ = 24/7

9. Which point of view is most likely to be uni eliable in a story?
QveST [7]

This question includes some misspelled words; here is the correct question:

Which point of view is most likely to be unreliable in a story?

All points of view in a story are equally reliable.

The first person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

All points of view in a story are equally unreliable.

The third-person point of view is most likely to be unreliable.

The correct answer is The first-person narrator is most likely to be unreliable.

Explanation:

In a narrative text, an unreliable narrator implies the narrator lies on purpose to the reader, or his/her version of the story is not completely accurate. This feature of narration occurs mainly if the story, novel, etc. includes a first-person narrator. This is because in a first-person narrator, the thoughts, feelings, and point of view of one of the characters prevail, and this causes the events told are subjective and therefore more likely to be inaccurate. Also, this does not occur if there is a third-person narrator because in this case the narrator acts as an observer and this makes it more objective.
