To find the angle of rotation θ between the previous x and y axes and the new x′ and y′ axes, we use the formula: cotangent of 2 theta equals A minus C all over B , where 2θ lies on the interval (0°, 180°).TrueFalse

The equation is the given one:


\cot 2\theta=(A-C)/(B)

Which is the same as:


\tan 2\theta=(B)/(A-C)

And the interval of the angle θ must be (0°,90°) so, 2θ must be (0°,180°).

So the statement is True.
