Given csc(x) = 25/20. Use appropriate pythagorean identity to find the value of cot(x).
I think that cot(x) = 15/20 but I'm not completely sure
Thank you!
cosecant = hypotenuse / opposite
hyp = 25
opp = 20
So the adjacent side = square root of [ (25)2 – (20)2 ] = sqrt(225)
adj = 15
cotangent = adjacent / opposite
cot = 15 / 20
