Question

Explain the difference between using the tangent ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the cotangent ratio. You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view.

Answer 1

@waterineyes what about this one?

Answer 2

The tangent ratio utilizes the side opposite the angle over the side adjacent to the angle, whereas the cotangent utilizes the side adjacent to the angle over the side opposite the angle. The ratio is a reciprocal.
