The angle in radians for which you want the cotangent.
The COT function calculates the cotangent of an angle specified in radians. It is the reciprocal of the tangent function, defined as 1 divided by the tangent of the angle.
=COT(PI()/4)→1Calculates the cotangent of PI/4 radians (45 degrees), which is 1.
