Answer

$1.2799$

Work Step by Step

$\cot s=\frac{1}{\tan s}=0.2994$ $\frac{1}{\tan s}=0.2994$ can be rearranged to $\tan s=\frac{1}{0.2994}$ $\tan s=\frac{1}{0.2994}$ is further rearranged to $s=\tan^{-1} \frac{1}{0.2994}$ Ensuring that the calculator is in radians, we type $\tan^{-1} \frac{1}{0.2994}$ into the calculator and solve: $s=\tan^{-1} \frac{1}{0.2994}\approx1.2799$
