If cos (theta) = (frac{sqrt{3}}{2}) and (theta) is less than 90o. Calculate (frac{cot(90 – theta)}{sin^2theta})

  • A.
    (frac{4}{sqrt{3}})
  • B.
    (4 sqrt{3})
  • C.
    (sqrt{frac{3}{2}})
  • D.
    (frac{1}{sqrt{3}})
  • E.
    (frac{2}{sqrt{3}})
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

(frac{cot (90 – theta)}{sin^2theta})

(cot (90 – theta) = tan theta)

(therefore frac{cot (90 – theta)}{sin^{2} theta} = frac{tan theta}{sin^{2} theta})

(tan theta = sqrt{3})

(sin theta = frac{1}{2} implies sin^{2} theta = frac{1}{4})

(frac{cot(90 – theta)}{sin^{2} theta} = frac{sqrt{3}}{frac{1}{4}})

= (4 sqrt{3})
