Solution


cot\text{ }\theta=-0.524

Let's take the inverse of cot to get theta


\begin{gathered} \theta=cot^(-1)-0.524 \\ \theta=117.65^(\circ\:) \\ \end{gathered}

Since the first answer is on the second quadrant

Now second answer on fourth quadrant


\begin{gathered} 360^0-117.65^(\circ\:)=242.35^0 \\ \end{gathered}

The final answer


117.65^(\circ\:),242.35^o
