Answer

$\cot\theta$ = $ \frac{\sqrt (1-\sin^{2}\theta)}{\sin\theta}$

Work Step by Step

From ratio identity- $\cot\theta$ = $ \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$ $\cot\theta$ = $ \frac{\sqrt (1-\sin^{2}\theta)}{\sin\theta}$ [From Pythagorean identity, $\cos\theta$ can be written as $\sqrt (1-\sin^{2}\theta)$]
