to find cot(x ) if you are given that sin(x)=2/3 by drawing a triangle

find cot(x ) if you are given that sin(x)=2/3 and that x is acute.

draw a rt. triangle with one angle as x (not the right angle)



choose the opp. side as 2 and hypotenuse as 3 so that the third side is
sqrt(5) (using pythagoras theorem)

so cot(x) = (sqrt 5) /2


some trigonometry formulae

Find p If Two Lines Are Perpendicular | 3D Geometry Solution

 If the lines (x - 3)/1 = (1 - y)/1 = (z + 2)/p and (2 - x)/3 = (y + 1)/5 = (z + 56)/2p are perpendicular to each other, then find the value...
