Step 1: Take the formula of the tangent.
FORMULA: The cotangent (cot) of an angle in a right triangle is a ratio.
It is the length of the adjacent leg (adj) divided by the length of
the opposite leg (opp).
\cot=\frac{adj}{opp}
Step 2: Plug in the relevant side lengths in the formula.
EXAMPLE: Opposite side to the angle C = BD
Adjacent side to the angle T = CB
= \frac{CB}{BD}
\Rightarrow\cot C=\frac{15}{8}
