Let us assume a right angled triangle ABC, right angled at B
sec θ =13/12 = Hypotenuse/Adjacent side = AC/AB
Let AC be 13k and AB will be 12k
Where, k is a positive real number.
According to the Pythagoras theorem,
AC2= AB2 + BC2
Substitute the value of AB and AC
(13k)2 = (12k)2 + BC2
169k2 = 144k2 + BC2
169k2 = 144k2 + BC2
BC2 = 169k2 – 144k2
BC2= 25k2
BC = 5k
Now, substitute the corresponding values in all other trigonometric ratios
Sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse = BC/AC = 5/13
Cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse = AB/AC = 12/13
tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side = BC/AB = 5/12
Cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side = AC/BC = 13/5
cot θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side = AB/BC = 12/5
