In the figure, what is the value of cotθ?

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e 15/8.
| Understanding/Application |
|
cotθ = cosθ/sinθ cosθ = b/h sinθ = p/h p = 8 cm h = 17 cm b = |
|
b = b = b = 15 cm cosθ = 15/17 sinθ = 8/17 cotθ = (15/17)/(8/17) cotθ = 15/8 |
