Question

How do you find the value of `cot 60`?

Answer 1

`cot(pi/3)=sqrt(3)/3`.

Explanation:

`cot(60°)=cot(pi/3)`.
cot(pi/3) is a known value as we can see in the sketch below:

If you don't remember `cot(pi/3)` it can be useful to remember that
`cot(x)=1/tan(x)`
So `cot(pi/3)=1/tan(pi/3)=1/sqrt(3)=sqrt(3)/3.`
