Question

Tan α=2.4, Find: sin α and cot α

Answer 1

Answer:

cot α = 1/tan α = 1/2.4 = 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

cot α=0.42

sin α = 0.92

we know that  cot α = 1/tan α

thus,

cot α = 1/tan α = 1/2.4 = 0.42

we know that

sin(x)=tan(x)1+tan2(x)√

$\ sin(\alpha )=tan(\alpha )/\sqrt{ 1+tan^2(\alpha )} \\sin(\alpha )= 2.4/\sqrt{1+2.4^2} = 2.4/\sqrt{1+5.76}\\sin(\alpha )= 2.4/\sqrt{6.76} = 2.4/2.6 = 12/13 = 0.92$

sin α = 0.92
