A. Tangent


(You might have read this in my previous answer, but I will reiterate in a shorter form for any viewers using this as a reference).


For future questions, use the mnemonic device SOH CAH TOA.

Sin. = Opposite over hypotenuse

Cos. = Adjacent over hypotenuse

Tan. = Opposite over adjacent

The answer is B. cotangent.

SOH CAH TOA

Tangent is opposite over adjacent and the inverse of that is adjacent over opposite which is cotangent.
