Correct Answer: $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$
Solution :
$\angle$F = 90°, EF = 10 cm, FG = 15 cm
By Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse
2
= Base
2
+ Perpendicular
2
EG
2
= EF
2
+ FG
2
⇒ EG
2
= 10
2
+ 15
2
⇒ EG
2
= 100 + 225
⇒ EG = $\sqrt{325}$ cm
cosec $\theta$ = $\frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{\text{Perpendicular}}$
⇒ cosec G = $\frac{\sqrt{325}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{25 \times 13}}{10} = \frac{5\sqrt{13}}{10}$
⇒ $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}$.
