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

For future people, this is what I put: Finding the tangent of a ratio involves finding the value of the angle, taking the side opposite of that angle over the side adjacent to that angle and with cotangent, you have the side adjacent over the side opposite so the value is opposite of what the tangent's value is.
