Tan x=opposite/adjacent
cot x=adjacent/opposite
so you need to inverse the fraction
tan x=.78 as a fraction is 78/100
-> inversed= 100/78=1.28=cot x
so it is the second option
To return back to -18°C from -10°C, you would have to lower the temperature by -8°C to compensate for the difference.
Hope that helps!
Do a ratio tall over shadow. How tall is tree / shadow. How tall is person / shadow then cross multiply. X/7.5 =5/3. 37.5=3x. Divide by 3 answer 12.5
