If the length of the adjacent gets divided by the length of the opposite side, it becomes the Cotangent of an angle in a right triangle.
We write it as ‘Cot’
Cot Formula
| Cot X = \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{Adjacent Side}{Opposite Side}\end{array} \) |
Out of the six trigonometric functions, Secant, cotangent, and cosecant are barely used.
What is Cot x formula?
Cotangent is the reciprocal of tan, Cot x =
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{Tanx}\end{array} \)
= \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{Cos x}{Sin x}\end{array} \)
Cotangent theta Formula Questions
Example 1: Find Cot X if tan x = 5/6
Solution: As cot X = 1/ tanX
=1/5/6
= 6/5
So, Cot X = 6/5
