Quotient Relations in T-Ratios
Theorem-1. In a right △ABC, let ∠B = 90⁰ and ∠A = θ⁰. Then,
Proof –
Consider △ABC in which ∠B = 90⁰ and ∠A = θ⁰
Let AB = x units, BC = y units and AC = r units
y x
Then, sin θ = ------- and cos θ = ------
r r
sin θ (y/r) y
(i) ---------- = --------- = ------- = tan θ (proved)
cos θ (x/r) x
cos θ (x/r)
(ii) ---------- = --------- = cot θ (proved)
sin θ (y/r)
sin θ cos θ
(iii) tan θ . cot θ = --------- X --------- = 1 (proved)
cos θ sin θ
