I think you multiply or add
First solve for the trig function 'cot'

Next take the sqrt of both sides (include plus/minus)

Now take reciprocal of both sides, this will change trig function to 'tan'
(cot = 1/tan)

Finally use the unit circle or inverse tan on your calculator to find x.
There will be 4 solutions, one for each quadrant.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Length of railroad car = 6 inches
The length of railroad track = 5 feet
We will convert this length into inches.
1 feet = 12 inches
5 feet = 12*5 = 60 inches
Let,
x be the number of cars.
Number of cars * Length of each car = Length of track
Dividing both sides by 6
10 cars can fit on railroad track.
Answer:
becuase 2*3 is 6, and 2*4 is 8, and when you simplfy it is 1 and 1/2, which in decimal form is 1.5, making it less than 2
