(cos(60))/(sin(60))

\frac{cos ( 6 0 ^{\circ} )}{sin ( 6 0 ^{\circ} )}

\frac{3}{3}

Decimal

0.57735 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{cos ( 6 0 ^{\circ} )}{sin ( 6 0 ^{\circ} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

cos (6 0^{\circ})

cos (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} cos (x) 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} cos (x) - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (6 0^{\circ})

sin (x)

periodicity table with

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

x 0 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ} 12 0^{\circ} 13 5^{\circ} 15 0^{\circ} sin (x) 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 \frac{3}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{1}{2} x 18 0^{\circ} 21 0^{\circ} 22 5^{\circ} 24 0^{\circ} 27 0^{\circ} 30 0^{\circ} 31 5^{\circ} 33 0^{\circ} sin (x) 0 - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{3}{2} - 1 - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}} : \frac{3}{3}

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{2}}

Divide fractions:

\frac{\frac{a}{b}}{\frac{c}{d}} = \frac{a \cdot d}{b \cdot c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 3}

Refine

= \frac{2}{2 3}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1}{3}

Rationalize

\frac{1}{3} : \frac{3}{3}

\frac{1}{3}

Multiply by the conjugate

\frac{3}{3}

= \frac{1 \cdot 3}{3 3}

1 \cdot 3 = 3

33 = 3

33

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

33 = 3

= 3

= \frac{3}{3}

= \frac{3}{3}

= \frac{3}{3}
