Question
What is the value of $9\cot^2\theta-9\text{ cosec}^2\theta?$
✓

Answer

We have,
$9\cot^2\theta-9\text{cosec}^2\theta$
$=9(\cot^2\theta-\text{cosec}^2\theta)$
$=-9(\text{cosec}^2\theta-\cot^2\theta)$
We know that, $\text{cosec}^2\theta-\cot^2\theta=1$
Therefore, $9\cot^2\theta-9\text{cosec}^2\theta=-9$

An observer at a distance of 10 m from tree looks at the top of the tree, the angle of elevation is $60^{\circ}$. To find the height of tree complete the activity. ($\sqrt{3}=1.73$)
Image
Activity :
In the figure given above, $AB=h=$ height of tree, $BC=10$ m, distance of the observer from the tree.
Angle of elevation ($\theta$) = $\angle BCA = 60^{\circ}$
$\tan \theta = \frac{⬜}{BC}$ ............ (I)
$\tan 60^{\circ} = ⬜$ ............ (II)
$\frac{AB}{BC} = \sqrt{3}$ (From (I) and (II))
$AB = BC \times \sqrt{3} = 10\sqrt{3}$
$AB = 10 \times 1.73 = ⬜$
$\therefore$ Height of the tree is $⬜ ~m$.
