The video tutorial explains how to find the cotangent of an angle given its tangent. It starts by introducing the problem and recalling that tangent and cotangent are reciprocals. Using a right triangle, the video illustrates the relationship between tangent and cotangent. Finally, it demonstrates how to simplify the expression by rationalizing the denominator, resulting in the final answer of sqrt 6 / 12.
