How do you evaluate the expression #cot45#? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer Noah G Oct 7, 2016 #cot45˚ = 1# Explanation: #cottheta = 1/tantheta # #cot45˚= 1/tan45˚# We use the #45-45-90# special triangle to find the value of #tan45˚#. #tantheta = "opposite"/"adjacent" = 1/1 = 1# #cot45˚ = 1/tan45˚ = 1/1 = 1# Hopefully this helps!
