You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are wo angles Theta between 0 degrees and 360 degrees for which
cot(theta) = -0.3156. Find these two angles.
----
cot is negative in the 2nd and 4th quadrants.
---
The reference angle for cot = 0.3156 is tan^-1(1/0.3156) = 72.48 degrees
----
In the 2nd quadrant theta = 180-72.48 = 107.52 degrees
--
In the 4th quadrant taeta = 360-72.48 = 287.52 degrees
