Question:
If $\cot\theta=\dfrac{5}{12}$, the value of $\text{cosec}^2\theta$ is:
$\dfrac{25}{144}$
$\dfrac{169}{144}$
$\dfrac{144}{169}$
$\dfrac{13}{12}$
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Apply the identity $1+\cot^2\theta=\text{cosec}^2\theta$.
$\text{cosec}^2\theta=1+\cot^2\theta=1+\dfrac{25}{144}=\dfrac{169}{144}$. [1.0 Mark]
Correct Answer: $\dfrac{169}{144}$
