What is arccos(√3/3)?

Answer

arccos(√3/3) ≈
54.7356° ≈ 0.9553 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(√3/3) is the angle α in [0°, 180°] with cos α = √3/3.

cos 54.7356° ≈ 0.5774

xyOP

α = arccos(√3/3) ≈ 54.7356°

P ≈ (0.5774, 0.8165)

P lies on the line x = √3/3 in the upper half of the circle, where sin α ≥ 0; highlighted: cos α = √3/3.
