@kayders1997 @ShadowLegendX ^_^

OpenStudy (cresciez):

I feel like this one is really easy

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

If I remember it you can do 1/tan(10)

OpenStudy (cresciez):

I got 0.176326980708 (0.176) and that's one of my answer choices ^-^ is it right?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

yes I looked it up and I got the same answer on the internet and my calculator by doing that

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

what are all the answers?

OpenStudy (cresciez):

how did you know cot was tangent?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

cot is the inverse of tangent

OpenStudy (cresciez):

0.176 5.671 0.648 1.542 these are the answers :)

OpenStudy (cresciez):

I had no idea! O.o

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I got one of those answers and it wasn't what you got :(

OpenStudy (cresciez):

if it's the inverse of tangent, it would be tan-1, right? I forgot to put my calculator on 2nd

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I think you forgot to put the 1 there

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

I think of it as sin/cos for tan and cot is cos/sin so you can just say that cot is 1/tanx

OpenStudy (cresciez):

Okay, I've got 5.671 - is that what you have? I did just tangent and not cotangent, my mistake!

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes that is what I got :)

OpenStudy (cresciez):

alright! thank you! I have one more after this, I would appreciate your help ^^

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

okay :)
