Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In order to get the angle of the resultant vector, we usually get the inverse of what trigonometric functions after calculating the quotient of Ry / Rx?
A
Cosine
B
Tangent
C
Cotangent
D
Sine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inverse Tan Formula In a right-angled triangle, the tangent of an angle () is the ratio of its opposite side to the adjacent side. i.e., tan = (opposite side) / (adjacent side). Then by the definition of inverse tan, the inverse tan formula is, = tan-1[ (opposite side) / (adjacent side) ] .

Detailed explanation-2: -Inverse Trig Ratios: Arcsin, Arccos, Arctan If you know the side opposite and the side adjacent to the angle in question, the inverse tangent ratio is used. The inverse sine of a ratio gives the angle in a right triangle whose sine is the given ratio. Inverse sine is also called arcsine and is labeled or arcsin.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, inverse of tan =PB =cot Was this answer helpful?
