An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with sin θ = eight ninths. What is the value of cot θ?
Solution:
Given sinθ = eight ninths = 8/9
Θ = sin⁻¹(8/9) = 62.73°
cot θ = {cosθ}/{sinθ}
= cos(62.73°)/ sin(62.73°)
= 0.458/0.888
= 0.51
cot θ = 0.51
An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with sin θ = eight ninths. What is the value of cot θ?
Summary:
An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with sin θ = eight ninths. The value of cot θ is 0.51
