If the angle is x radians, then tan(x) = 1/20 = 0.05

So x = tan-1(0.05) = 0.04996 radians = 2.86 degrees (approx)

How do you find a cotangent?

1/(tangent of angle)


What is the cos of angle A?

It is a trigonometric function which converts the angle into a ratio.If the angle A is measured in radians, thencos(A) = 1 - A^2/2! + A^4/4! - a^6/6! + ...


What fraction of a turn is a obtuse angle?

It is a fraction between 1/4 and 1/2.


How do you draw angles greater than 180?

First, if the angle is 360° or more, find the remainder of the angle divided by 360 - this is as 360° represents a full turn. If you have a 360° protractor just measure off the angle. If you only have a 180° protractor, then there are two ways it can be done as the protractor is marked so that 0° - 180° can be measured from either end of the base line: Method 1: excess over 180° 1) Subtract 180° from the angle to get the excess over 180°. 2) Place the protractor on the line, centred on the vertex of the angle on the left of the line, with the top 0°/180° mark on the line. 3) Measure the excess over 180° calculated in step 1 from the bottom 0° mark of the protractor. 4) Draw in the second angle arm - the reflex angle (measured clockwise) is as required. Method 2: acute/obtuse angle of the reflex angle to complete a full turn 1) Subtract the angle from 360° to get the angle which completes the full turn 2)Place the protractor on the line, centred on the angle vertex on the left of the line, with the top 0°/180° mark on the line. 3) Measure the angle to complete the full turn calculated in step 1 from the top 0° mark of the protractor (on the line). 4) Draw in the second angle arm - the reflex angle (measured clockwise) is as required. The above assume a clockwise angle is being drawn from a vertical line with the angle vertex at the bottom. For anticlockwise angles, place the protractor on the right of the line. For a non-vertical line [mentally] rotate the paper so that the first arm of the angle is vertical with the angle vertex at the bottom.


What is a quadrantal angle?

A Quadrantal angle is an angle that is not in Quadrant I. Consider angle 120. You want to find cos(120) . 120 lies in quadrant II. Also, 120=180-60. So, it is enough to find cos(60) and put the proper sign. cos(60)=1/2. Cosine is negative in quadrant II, Therefore, cos(120) = -1/2.
