Answer:

(b) Mark the intersection points of the arcs, and draw a line through those two points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously, the last step in bisecting a line segment is to draw the line or point that cuts the line segment into two equal parts. The step describing the drawing of such a segment is ...

Mark the intersection points of the arcs, and draw a line through those two points.

You would do well to perform these steps with a real compass and straightedge on a real piece of paper. The physical act will help you remember how it works and what the steps are. Perhaps it will even help you understand why it works.

Given that cot θ = 1/√5, what is the value of (sec²θ - cosec²θ)/(sec²θ + cosec²θ) ?

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{Given :\;\dfrac{{sec}^2\theta - co{sec}^2\theta}{{sec}^2\theta + co{sec}^2\theta}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{cos\theta}}}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{co{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} - \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} + \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}}$

Taking sin²θ common in both numerator & denominator, We get :

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta\left(1 - \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}{sin^2\theta\left(1 + \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}}$
