cot(x) = 15/12
X = cot -1(15/12)
In degree mode.
X = 46o

The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
Complete this sentence In a triangle the angle with the smallest measure is always opposite the?
The angle with the smallest measure is opposite the shortest side. Similarly, the angle with the largest measure is opposite the longest side.
In a triangle the angle with the smallest measure is always opposite the?
shortest side
What is the adjacent opposite side?
There is not an adjacent opposite side.
In a right triangle the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?
In a right triangle, two of the angles are acute ones. Referring to one of the acute angles, the ratio of the side opposite it to the side adjacent to it is the tangent of the angle.
How do you find the measure of an angle by using its tangent?
You would have to use its opposite tangent, tan-1on your scientific calculator. It would be tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side), and you must have the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle you are trying to solve.
How do you find the measure of a tangent angle?
Take the inverse tangent -- tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side)
How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?
The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.
What is the adjacent and opposite sides of a right triangle?
For any angle in the triangle that is not a right angle, the opposite side is the side does not touch the angle and the adjacent side touches it and is perpendicular to the opposite side. The third side is the longest side and is the hypotenuse
Is the sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
no it is angle opposite to tita/ hypotenouse
The sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
Opposite over hypotenuse. Sin=opposite/hypotenuse cos=adjacent/hypotenuse tan=opposite/adjacent
How do you find the other side of a right triangle?
use right triangle trig... sin (angle) = opposite side/hypotunese, cos (angle) = adjacent side/hypotunese, and tan (angle) = opposite side/ adjacent side
What is the sin cos tan trick?
Sine is opposite side of angle over hypotenuse. Cosine is adjacent side of angle over hypotenuse. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side.
In a right triangle the of an angle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.?
Yes because tangent = opposite/adjacent
The side opposite angle A is 6 meters and the side adjacent angle A is 8 meters?
10
What is the trig ratio which relates the opposite to the adjacent of a triangle?
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
What are facts about right triangles?
The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the hypotenuse is the sine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side adjacent to a given angle to the hypotenuse is the cosine of that angle.The ratio of the length of the side opposite a given angle to the side adjacent to that angle is the tangent of that angle.
