Answer:

The cotangent of an angle is the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the opposite side. Cot A = b/a

Explanation:

The adjacent side to angle A will be side b.

The opposite side to angle A is side a.

cot A is equal to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the opposite side, therefore the answer is cot A = b/a
