If cot x° = three fourths, what is the value of b? Triangle LMN in which angle M measures 90 degrees, angle L measures x degrees, LM measures 10.5 units, and NM measures 2b units b = 4 b = 5 b = 6 b = 7

The answer would be b=7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason for this is that cot x = 3/4. That means tan x = 4/3. In tangent 4/3 is opposite/adjacent. So 4 is opposite and 3 is adjacent.

The picture is below if you needed it.

The answer is not 4 though because we need to put it into ratio form. 10.5 = to the 3 and 2b is equal to the 4.

Since we understand this information we now cross multiply to get the answer.

3/10.5 = 4/2b

When you cross multiply you get 7 = b.

This is the answer. To check you can put it into the ration again.

3 divided by 4 is 0.75 as is 10.5 divided by 2(7) or 14.

This is how to answer and check the problem
