Let me help you with this question.
We have to prove that
cot A = cos A / sin A

Since, we know that Cotangent is the inverse trigonometric function of tangent.
i-e cot A = 1 / tan A   .......... (1)
We also know that,
tan A = sin A / cos A
Put this value in equation (1), we get:
cot A = 1 / (sin A / cos A)
cot A = cos A / sin A
Hence proved.
Hopefully its helpful to you.Thanks.

The answer is YES.


According to Trigonometry equations,


The ratio of sine of an angle to the cosine of the same angle is equal to the tangent of the angle.


=> sinA/cosA = tanA


Also, the cotangent of an angle is inversely proportional to the tangent of the same angle.


cotA = 1/tanA


=> cotA = 1/(sinA/cosA)


=> cotA = 1 *cosA/sinA


=> cotA = cosA/sinA
