cotθ = √3

But cotθ = 1/tanθ

1/tanθ = √3 Take the square root of both sides

tanθ = 1/√3

θ = tan⁻¹(1/√3)

θ = 30°

we are given the expression cot θ = square root of 3 and is asked to determine the value of θ. In this case, we evaluate this expression by considering cot as an inverse of tan. Hence, the resulting equation is tan θ = 1 / sqrt 3. Using degrees mode, θ is equal to 30 degrees. In radians, θ is equal to pi/6
