In ABC\triangle ABC with AB = 5 cm, BC = 12 cm, AC = 13 cm and B=90\angle B = 90^\circ, which of the following is/are not correct?

(a) tanC=1213\tan C = \frac{12}{13}

(b) cosecA=1312\text{cosec} A = \frac{13}{12}

(c) sinB=513\sin B = \frac{5}{13}

(d) tanA=1215\tan A = \frac{12}{15}

(e) cosC=1213\cos C = \frac{12}{13}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

Correct Option: 3

tanC=AB/BC=5/12\tan C = AB/BC = 5/12, so (a) is incorrect. cosecA=AC/BC=13/12\text{cosec} A = AC/BC = 13/12, so (b) is correct. sinB=sin90=1\sin B = \sin 90^\circ = 1, so (c) is incorrect. tanA=BC/AB=12/5\tan A = BC/AB = 12/5, so (d) is incorrect. cosC=BC/AC=12/13\cos C = BC/AC = 12/13, so (e) is correct. Incorrect statements: (a), (c), (d).
