Given:

ΔABC, ∠C = 90°

AC = 2√3 cm

BC = 1 cm

Formula used:

Pythagoras theorem: AB2 = AC2 + BC2

sin A = Opposite side / Hypotenuse = BC / AB

sec A = Hypotenuse / Adjacent side = AB / AC

cosec A = Hypotenuse / Opposite side = AB / BC

Calculation:

AB using Pythagoras theorem:

AB2 = (2√3)2 + 12

AB2 = 12 + 1 = 13

AB = √13 cm

Now,

sin A = BC / AB = 1 / √13

sec A = AB / AC = √13 / (2√3)

cosec A = AB / BC = √13 / 1 = √13

Substitute the values in the given expression:

13sin2 A + 6sec2 A + cosec2 A

⇒ 13(1/√13)2 + 6(√13 / (2√3))2 + (√13)2

13(1/13) + 6(13/12) + 13

1 + 13/2 + 13

14 + 6.5 = 20.5 = 41/2 = \(20 \frac{1}{2}\)

∴ The value of (13sin2 A + 6sec2 A + cosec2 A) is \(20 \frac{1}{2}\).
