The image presents the text: "20. cot β"This indicates that problem number 20 involves the trigonometric function "cotangent" of an angle denoted by the Greek letter "β" (beta).### Explanation:In trigonometry, the cotangent (cot) of an angle in a right-angled triangle is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side. It is the reciprocal of the tangent function. For an angle \( β \):\[ \cot β = \frac{1}{\tan β} = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} \]Understanding cotangent is crucial in various applications of trigonometry, including solving triangles, analyzing waves, and in different fields of science and engineering. **Trigonometric Exercises**In Exercises 19 to 21, let \( \beta \) be an acute angle of a right triangle for which \( \sec \beta = \frac{13}{12} \). Find:(Note to website description writers: If there is a list of tasks or specific problems to be addressed for exercises 19 to 21, they should follow here for better clarity for the students.)
