We want to find the value of cot(θ) given that sin(θ) = 3/8 and θ is an angle in a right triangle, we will get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3

So we know that θ is an acute angle in a right triangle, and we get:

sin(θ) = 3/8

Remember that:

  • sin(θ) = (opposite cathetus)/(hypotenuse)
  • hypotenuse = √(  (opposite cathetus)^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Then we have:

opposite cathetus = 3

hypotenuse = 8 = √(3^2 +  (adjacent cathetus)^2)

Now we can solve this for the adjacent cathetus, so we get:

adjacent cathetus = √(8^2 - 3^2) = √55

And we know that:

cot(θ) = (adjacent cathetus)/(opposite cathetus)

Then we get:

cot(θ) = (√55)/3

Vector V is shown in the graph below.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

v = -8i - 6j

Step-by-step explanation:

The starting point is (9, 9)

The direction of the vector is the direction of the arrowhead.

The i is the horizontal component.

The j is the vertical component.

Therefore, to go from the start to the end of the line, we need to travel negative 8 units (horizontally) and negative 6 units (vertically).

Therefore, v = -8i - 6j
