Cos 26 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 26°?
Answer
cos 26° ≈
0.8988
Angle in radians: 26° = 13π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 26° can't be written with square roots: 26° is not a multiple of 3°.
P(cos 26°, sin 26°) ≈ (0.8988, 0.4384)
P(cos 26°, sin 26°) ≈ (0.8988, 0.4384)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.8988.

FAQ
What is cos 26°?
cos 26° ≈ 0.8988
Why does cos 26° 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°. 26° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 26° ≈ 0.8988.
Why does a calculator show 0.6469 for cos 26?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 26 as the cosine of 26 radians, cos 26 rad ≈ 0.6469. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 26° ≈ 0.8988. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
