Answer:

cot(θ)=5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

(I'm going to replace theta with x to save time.)

Recall that sine is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. Thus:

sin(x)=12/13, this means that the opposite side is 12 while the hypotenuse is 13 (well, it doesn't have to be, but their ratios are).

Find the adjacent side using the Pythagorean Theorem.

13^2 = 12^2 + adj^2

adj^2 = 25

adj = 5.

Recall that tan(x) is opposite over adjacent. This means that cot(x) is adjacent is opposite.

Therefore: cot(x) = 5/12.

A fish tank can hold 190 liters of water. The tank has 154 liters of water in it already.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

it is 36 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

think of it like your subtracting 154 from 190 if you subtract 100 from 190 it will be 90 and if you subtract 50 from 90 it will be 40 so if you subtract 4 from 40 it will be 36 your answer.
