If cos theta =12/13.find 1+cot theta
1 answer:
Answer:
17/5
Step-by-step explanation:
If cosθ = 12/13, find (1+cotθ)
As shown in the diagram attached,
Cotθ = 1/tanθ = adjacent/opposite
From the diagram attached,
cotθ = 12/a................... Equation 1
But we can find the value of a by using pythagoras theorem
13² = 12²+a²
169 = 144+a²
a² = 169-144
a² = 25
a = √25
a = 5.
Substitute the value of a into equation 1
Therefore,
cotθ = 12/5
(1+cotθ) =(12/5)+1 = (5+12)/5
(1+cotθ) = 17/5

Answer:
£22.40
Step-by-step explanation:
60% of 12 is 7.2 (you can also write it as 7.20) so you times that by 2 to get 14.4 (you can also write it as 14.40) and of 24 is 8, so you add that to the 14.4 and you get 22.4 (also writen as 22.4) hope this helps!
