tan y = 5/14


y is the angle whose tangent is 5/14

anonymous · Answer

@welshfella thanks i was using the cotagent ratio but i dot know what to do after that

welshfella · Answer

there is no need to use the cotangent 
tan  = opposite / adjacent = 5/14

anonymous · Answer

cotagent is the same think tho, just the reciprocal
cot= adj/opp

welshfella · Answer

yes cot = 1 / tan

anonymous · Answer

so what do i do after tan(y)= 5/14 ?

welshfella · Answer

well use your calculator to find  angle whose tan = 5/14

5  divided by 14 = 0.3571

so enter tan-1 0.3571 and press exe

one sec

welshfella · Answer

- though some calculators requre differnt order

anonymous · Answer

well 5/14 is 0.35714..
