The cotangent function is defined as the length of the side adjacent over the length of the side opposite.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sine of an angle is defined as the length of the side opposite over the length of the hypotenuse.
The cosine of an angle is defined as the length of the side adjacent over the length of the hypotenuse.
The tangent of an angle is defined as the length of the side opposite over the length of the side adjacent.
The cotangent function is defined as the length of the side adjacent over the length of the side opposite.
The secant of an angle is defined as the length of the hypotenuse over the length of the side adjacent.
The cosecant of an angle is defined as the length of the hypotenuse over the length of the side opposite.
