Question

if cot a = 8/15, then calculate the value of tan a​

Answer 1

COTA=8/15(GIVEN)

TANA=1/COTA

THEN,

TANA=15/8

Answer 2

Given,

cot a = 8/15

To Find,

tan a =?

Solution,

We know the relationship between tan θ and cot θ that is,

tan θ = 1 / cot θ

Putting the value of cot θ in this formula,

tan a = 1 / cot a

tan a = 1 ÷ 8 / 15

tan a = 1 / (8 / 15)

tan a = 1 * 15 / 8

tan a = 15 / 8

Hence, if cot a = 8/15, then calculate the value of tan a​ is 15 / 8.
