Definition:Cotangent/Definition from Circle/Fourth Quadrant

Definition
Consider a unit circle $C$ whose center is at the origin of a cartesian coordinate plane.

Let $P$ be the point on $C$ in the fourth quadrant such that $\theta$ is the angle made by $OP$ with the $x$-axis.

Let a tangent line be drawn to touch $C$ at $A = \left({0, 1}\right)$.

Let $OP$ be produced to meet this tangent line at $B$.

Then the cotangent of $\theta$ is defined as the length of $AB$.
