      Question

      What is the value of (1 - sin A)/(1 + Sin A) given that

      tan A = 5/12 and 0° ≤ A ≤ 90°.
      A 1/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 4/9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 9/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      We know tan A = (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = 5/12
      Therefore by applying Pythagoras theorem hypotenuse = 13
      Sin A = 5/13
      (1-sinA)/(1+SinA) = (1-5/13)/ (1+5/13) = 8/18 = 4/9
