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
|
Sec X = \(\frac{Adjacent Side}{Opposite Side}\) |
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 = \(\frac{1}{Tanx}\) = \(\frac{Cos x}{Sin x}\)
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
Example 2: Find Cot X if sin x =5⁄6
Solution: As cot X = 1/ tanX = cosx/sinx =7/3/5/6 = 42/15 So, Cot X = 42⁄15
