Question

An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with sin θ =6/7 . What is the value of cot θ

Answer 1

How do I find the adjacent side?

Answer 2

draw a triangle , label theta and the legs that have length 6 and 7
figure out the 3rd side (use pythagoras a^2+b^2= c^2)
what is the defintion of cot ? 1/tan and tan is opp/adj

Answer 3

I assume you can find the 3rd leg:
6^2 + b^2 = 7^2
b^2= 7^2 - 6^2
b^2= 49-36
b^2= 13
b= sqrt(13)

Answer 4

I got it thanks
