Question

If cot(theta)=1.5 and theta is in quadrant 3, what is the value of sin theta

Answer 1

$ans = \boxed{ 0.6}$

$since \: cot( \theta)= \frac{1}{ \tan( \theta) } \\ \frac{1}{ \tan( \theta) } = 1.5 \\ (1.5)\tan( \theta) = 1 \\ \tan( \theta) = \frac{1}{1.5} = 0.6666666667 \\ \theta = { \tan}^{ - 1} (0.6666666667) \\ \theta = 33.69 \\ hence: \sin( \theta) = \sin(33.69) = 0.5546992156$
