Trigonometry Examples

$(3, 4)$

Step 1

To find the $\cot (θ)$ between the x-axis and the line between the points $(0, 0)$ and $(3, 4)$ , draw the triangle between the three points $(0, 0)$ , $(3, 0)$ , and $(3, 4)$ .

Opposite : $4$

Adjacent : $3$

Step 2

$\cot (θ) = \frac{Adjacent}{Opposite}$ therefore $\cot (θ) = \frac{3}{4}$ .

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step 3

Approximate the result.

$\cot (θ) = \frac{3}{4} \approx 0.75$
