Correct Answer: $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1–x^2}}$


Solution :
In $\triangle ABC$,
⇒ $\cos\ 27°$ = $x$
⇒ $\frac{AB}{BC}$ = $\frac{x}{1}$
By Pythagoras theorem,
Perpendicular 2 + Base 2 = Hypotenuse 2
⇒ AC 2 + AB 2 = BC 2
⇒ AC 2 = BC 2 – AB 2 = $1–x^2$
⇒ AC = $\sqrt{1–x^2}$
$\tan 63°$ = $\frac{AB}{AC}$
= $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1–x^2}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{x}{\sqrt{1–x^2}}$.
