first find the other side measure using pythogoras theorem

then use  cot theta = adjacent / opposite side

anonymous · Answer

@CDiego  4/7 is not the answer..

anonymous · Answer

I dont really understand what the procedure is to get the answer

aravindg · Answer

do you know what cotangent is?

anonymous · Answer

first find the length of the third side using pythgorus theorem..

anonymous · Answer

sorry i was having internet difficulties....

I do understand what contagen is though!

Oh i see my issue instead of putting in the adjacent side in the equation i put the hypotenuse

anonymous · Answer

yaa ...
u find the adjacent side 
and find cot theta

anonymous · Answer

so the third side is: the square root of 33

anonymous · Answer
