Find cot theta if 180° < theta < 270° and cos theta = - sqrt 3/2

Mathematics

avanturin [10]3 years ago

Answer:

cot theta = -√3

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that  cos theta = - √3/2 within the range 180° < theta < 270° and

since cos theta = adj/hyp

adj = - √3

hyp = 2

Get the opposite using the pythagoras theorem

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

2² = opp² + (-√3)²

4 = opp² + 3

opp² = 4-3

opp² = 1

opp = 1

tan theta = opp/adj

tan theta = - 1/√3

Recall that cot theta = 1/tan theta

cot theta = 1/(-1/√3)

cot theta = -√3

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

t = 1/2 ÷ 1/4

t = 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time spent watching movies = 1/2 of an hour

This accounts for 1/4 of the total time thei spend at mount rushmore.

1/2 = 1/4t

Where t = total time they spent at mount rushmore (hours)

1/2 = 1/4t

Determine the equation to find t

t = 1/2 ÷ 1/4

= 1/2 × 4/1

= 4 / 2

= 2

t = 2 hours
