Question : If $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^\circ-\tan ^2 33^\circ\right)-\cos 90^\circ+y \tan ^2 66^\circ  \tan ^2 24^\circ=\frac{y}{2}$, then the value of $y$ is:

Option 1: 4

Option 2: – 4

Option 3: 8

Option 4: – 8

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: – 8


Solution : $4\left(\operatorname{cosec}^2 57^\circ-\tan ^2 33^\circ\right)-\cos 90^\circ+y \tan ^2 66^\circ  \tan ^2 24^\circ=\frac{y}{2}$
Using, $\cos 90^\circ = 0$, $ \operatorname {cosec}^2 A - 1 = \cot^2 A$ and $\tan (90^\circ - A) = \cot A$ where $A$ is an angle. 
Substituting these identities into the given

Question : In $\triangle$ ABC, $\angle$ BCA = $90^{\circ}$, AC = 24 cm and BC = 10 cm. What is the radius (in cm) of the circumcircle of $\triangle$ ABC?

Option 1: 12.5

Option 2: 13

Option 3: 25

Option 4: 26

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024
