We have been given that \text{sin}(A)=\frac{12}{13} and angle A is in quadrant 1. We are asked to find the exact value of \text{cot}(A) in simplest radical form.

We know that sine relates opposite side of right triangle with hypotenuse.

\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}

This means that opposite side is 12 units and hypotenuse is 13 units.

We know that cotangent relates adjacent side of right triangle with adjacent side.

\text{cot}=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Opposite}}

Now we will find adjacent side using Pythagoras theorem as:

\text{Adjacent}^2=\text{Hypotenuse}^2-\text{Oppoiste}^2

\text{Adjacent}^2=13^2-12^2

\text{Adjacent}^2=169-144

\text{Adjacent}^2=25

Let us take positive square root on both sides:

\sqrt{\text{Adjacent}^2}=\sqrt{25}  

\text{Adjacent}=5

Therefore, adjacent side of angle A is 5 units.

\text{cot}(A)=\frac{5}{12}

Therefore, the exact value of cot A is \frac{5}{12}.

taurus [48]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

Harry starts out with $62.

The 2 jerseys cost 2($4) = $8.

The ball cost $19.

The shorts cost $5.

The amount Harry has left is:

$62 - ($8 + $19 + $5) = $62 - ($32) = $30
