Question:

In the figure, what is the value of cot θ :

Options:

$\frac{17}{18}$

$\frac{15}{17}$

$\frac{15}{8}$

$\frac{8}{15}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{15}{8}$

Explanation:

By using pythagoras theorem ,

PR² = PQ² + QR²

17² = 8² + QR²

QR² = PQ² + QR² = 289 - 64 = 225

QR = 15

Now,

cotθ

= \(\frac{B}{P}\)

= \(\frac{15}{8}\)
