    Cos 52 Degrees

    Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
    Function
    Angle (°)

    What is cos 52°?

    Answer

    cos 52° ≈
    0.6157

    Angle in radians: 52° = 13π/45. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 52° can't be written with square roots: 52° is not a multiple of 3°.

    P(cos 52°, sin 52°) ≈ (0.6157, 0.7880)

    xyOP

    P(cos 52°, sin 52°) ≈ (0.6157, 0.7880)

    Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.6157.

    FAQ

    What is cos 52°?

    cos 52° ≈ 0.6157

    Why does cos 52° 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°. 52° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 52° ≈ 0.6157.

    Why does a calculator show −0.1630 for cos 52?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 52 as the cosine of 52 radians, cos 52 rad ≈ −0.1630. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 52° ≈ 0.6157. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
