Answer:

While determining the angle \theta with the tangent ratio or cotangent ratio uses the same sides lengths but the ratios are inverse of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the diagram attached.

Let us assume a right triangle Δ ABC with ∠ B = 90°. Now, assume that the angle ∠ CAB = \theta and the sides AB, BC, CA are 3, 4, 5 units respectively.

The tangent ratio of an angle \theta is given by  

\tan \theta = \frac{BC}{AB} = \frac{4}{3}  

Again, the cotangent ratio of angle \theta is given by  

\cot \theta = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{3}{4}  

Therefore, in both the cases of tangent ratio and cotangent ratio are inverse of each other and while determining the angle \theta with the tangent ratio or cotangent ratio uses the same sides lengths but the ratios are inverse of each other. (Answer)

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Unemployement\,\,rate=23%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unemployment rate we have the next expression:

Unemplyment\,\,rate=\frac{Unemployment\,\,people}{Total\,\, labor\,\, force}\cdot 100

We have the next data:

200 million employed

20 million unemployed

40 million umemployed are not  looking for a job

Then the total labor force will be the employed and the unemployed population then de have 260 million

Unemployement\,\,rate=\frac{60million}{260million}\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=\frac{6}{26}\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=0.23\cdot 100

Unemployement\,\,rate=23%
