Cos 101 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 101°?
Answer
cos 101° ≈
−0.1908
Angle in radians: 101° = 101π/180. The point of the angle is in quadrant II, where cosine is negative.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 101° can't be written with square roots: 101° is not a multiple of 3°.
cos 101° = cos(180° − 79°) = −cos 79° ≈ −0.1908
P(cos 101°, sin 101°) ≈ (−0.1908, 0.9816)
P(cos 101°, sin 101°) ≈ (−0.1908, 0.9816)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ −0.1908.

FAQ
What is cos 101°?
cos 101° ≈ −0.1908
Why does cos 101° have no exact value?
A trigonometric value of a whole number of degrees can be written with square roots only when the angle is a multiple of 3°. 101° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 101° ≈ −0.1908.
Why does a calculator show 0.8920 for cos 101?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 101 as the cosine of 101 radians, cos 101 rad ≈ 0.8920. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 101° ≈ −0.1908. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
