Question 22493: HELP! I completely do not understand what I need to do here:
Find cot 59 degrees 18 minutes by writing it in terms of a cofunction and solving. Thanks in advance! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Cotagent and Tangent are cofunctions
Therefore cot (59 degrees 18min) is the same
as 1/[tan (59 degrees 18min)]
To put that into your calculator:
Make sure you are in Degree Mode.
Then enter 1/[tan (59+18/60)]= 0.5937....
