13. If

   

show that

Solution:

Given,

   

We know that,

   

   

   

By definition,

   

adjacent side/ hypotenuse

   

Comparing

   

we have

Adjacent side

   

and hypotenuse

   

By Pythagoras theorem,

Opposite side = √((hypotenuse) 2 – (adjacent side)2)

   

   

   

   

Thus, opposite side

   

By definition,

   

opposite side/ adjacent side

   

From, let’s divide the numerator and denominator by

   

We get,

   

[using the value oftan θ]

   

[After taking Ltan θCM and cancelling it]
