  0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume your angle is in degrees:

  3cot(30°)/230 = 3√3/230 ≈ 0.02259

  ≈ 0.02 . . . . . rounded to 2 decimal places

__

This is a straightforward calculator problem. You may have to use one or another of the identities ...

  cot(30°) = 1/tan(30°) = tan(90° -30°) = tan(60°)
