The video tutorial explains the relationship between tangent and cotangent, emphasizing that tangent is the ratio of y to x, while cotangent is the inverse. It guides viewers through identifying the coordinates for the angle π/4 on the unit circle, which are (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(2)/2). Using these coordinates, the tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the cotangent of π/4 by dividing x by y, resulting in a value of one.
