If sin θ = 1/2, then cot θ = ?
Given: sin θ = 1/2 = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse
Therefore, on comparing, Perpendicular = 1 and Hypotenuse = 2
In a right – angled triangle, (Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2
4 = 1+ (Base)2
Therefore, Base = √(4 – 1)
= √(3)
Therefore cot θ = Base/ Perpendicular
= √3/1
= √3
