Cos 130 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 130°?
Answer
cos 130° ≈
−0.6428
Angle in radians: 130° = 13π/18. The point of the angle is in quadrant II, where cosine is negative.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 130° can't be written with square roots: 130° is not a multiple of 3°.
cos 130° = cos(180° − 50°) = −cos 50° ≈ −0.6428
P(cos 130°, sin 130°) ≈ (−0.6428, 0.7660)
P(cos 130°, sin 130°) ≈ (−0.6428, 0.7660)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ −0.6428.

FAQ
What is cos 130°?
cos 130° ≈ −0.6428
Why does cos 130° 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°. 130° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 130° ≈ −0.6428.
Why does a calculator show −0.3673 for cos 130?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 130 as the cosine of 130 radians, cos 130 rad ≈ −0.3673. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 130° ≈ −0.6428. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
