\cot(g)D\theta =2\times 2s
Variable D cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2D, the least common multiple of 2,D.
\cot(g)D\theta =4s
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
\theta \cot(g)D=4s
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\theta \cot(g)D}{\theta \cot(g)}=\frac{4s}{\theta \cot(g)}
Divide both sides by \cot(g)\theta .
D=\frac{4s}{\theta \cot(g)}
Dividing by \cot(g)\theta undoes the multiplication by \cot(g)\theta .
D=\frac{4s\tan(g)}{\theta }
Divide 4s by \cot(g)\theta .
D=\frac{4s\tan(g)}{\theta }\text{, }D\neq 0
Variable D cannot be equal to 0.
