What is arccos(0.65)?

Answer

arccos(0.65) ≈
49.4584° ≈ 0.8632 rad

Range: arccos x is an angle from 0° to 180°, so the answer is unique.

≈ — the value is not a table one; rounded to 4 decimal places.

arccos(0.65) is the angle α in [0°, 180°] with cos α = 0.65.

cos 49.4584° ≈ 0.6500

xyOP

α = arccos(0.65) ≈ 49.4584°

P ≈ (0.65, 0.7599)

P lies on the line x = 0.65 in the upper half of the circle, where sin α ≥ 0; highlighted: cos α = 0.65.
