Cos 106 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 106°?
Answer
cos 106° ≈
−0.2756
Angle in radians: 106° = 53π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant II, where cosine is negative.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 106° can't be written with square roots: 106° is not a multiple of 3°.
cos 106° = cos(180° − 74°) = −cos 74° ≈ −0.2756
P(cos 106°, sin 106°) ≈ (−0.2756, 0.9613)
P(cos 106°, sin 106°) ≈ (−0.2756, 0.9613)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ −0.2756.

FAQ
What is cos 106°?
cos 106° ≈ −0.2756
Why does cos 106° 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°. 106° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 106° ≈ −0.2756.
Why does a calculator show 0.6865 for cos 106?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 106 as the cosine of 106 radians, cos 106 rad ≈ 0.6865. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 106° ≈ −0.2756. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
