\n" );
document.write( "I have a triangle which is not a right triangle, an angle theta with adjacent side of 8 and opposite side of 6.
\n" );
document.write( "I thought I was doing it correctly but I don't think I am.
\n" );
document.write( "I figured that since the cot = adj/opp = 8/6 which is 1.3333 and since it is cot theta/2, I then divided that by 2 and got .6666
\n" );
document.write( "Then I'm stuck. What do I do with the .6666 (if that is correct so far)? \n" );

If you do not have a right triangle or some other \n" ); document.write( "information about theta you cannot determine cot(theta/2). \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
