A.5/4
B.4/5
C.3/5
D.3/4

Answer 2

Hint:
Use SohCahToa, and
recall that cot(x)=\(\Large \frac{1}{tan(x)}\)

Answer 3

so what is x

Answer 4

x can be any value, but can apply to \(\theta\) in your diagram.

Answer 5

oh ok ....1 min

Answer 6

ok ....im confused as how to solve this but i have cot(3)=0.0524

Answer 7

Do you know SohCahToa?
Start with finding tan\(\theta\)!

Answer 8

Neither tan nor cot equals 0.0524. You can find it directly from the diagram as a fraction, without using a calculator.

Answer 9

so does tan=4/3

Answer 10

tan=opp/adj
right??

Answer 11

Exactly! Now you can calculate cot(x)=1/tan(x)

Answer 12

lol what is cot

Answer 13

cot is cotangent, basically the reciprocal of tangent.

Answer 14

so if it is the reciprocal then that means that cot is 3/4 ??

Answer 15

Exactly!

Answer 16

so 3/4(x)=4/3

Answer 17

so the answer is 3/4

Answer 18

That is correct!

Answer 19

ok thanks for the help......your awesome
