Answer:

tan²A +1 = sec²A; cotA = -(3√7/7); A = 311.41°

Step-by-step explanation:

secA = 4/3

sec²A = 16/9  

Use the identity tan²A +1 = sec²A

tan²A = sec²A - 1 = 16/9 - 1 = 7/9

cot²A = 1/tan²A = 9/7

We are in the fourth quadrant, so the cotangent is negative.

cotA = -√(9/7) = -3/√7 = -(3√7/7)

tan A = 1/cotA = -√7/3

A = -48.59° = 311.41°

The  value are tan²A +1 = sec²A

cotA = -(3√7/7);

A = 311.41°

What is trigonometry?

A branch of mathematics called trigonometry examines connections between triangles' sides and angles. Due to the fact that every straight-sided form can be decomposed into a group of triangles, trigonometry may be found across all of geometry.

Given

secA = 4/3

sec²A = 16/9  

Use the identity tan²A +1 = sec²A

tan²A = sec²A - 1 = 16/9 - 1 = 7/9

cot²A = 1/tan²A = 9/7

We are in the fourth quadrant, so the cotangent is negative.

cotA = -√(9/7) = -3/√7 = -(3√7/7)

tan A = 1/cotA = -√7/3

A = -48.59° = 311.41°
