Question

If cot theta=1.5 find sin theta

Answer 1

ANSWER

$a. \: \: \: \tan( \theta) = \frac{1}{1.5} \approx0.6667$

EXPLANATION

We were given that:

$\cot( \theta) = 1.5$

and we want to find

$\tan( \theta)$

We know that, the two ratios are reciprocals of each other.

$\tan( \theta) = \frac{1}{ \cot( \theta) }$

We perform the substitution to obtain:

$\tan( \theta) = \frac{1}{1.5} \approx0.6667$

The correct choice is A.
