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
