    Cos 62 Degrees

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

    What is cos 62°?

    Answer

    cos 62° ≈
    0.4695

    Angle in radians: 62° = 31π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 62° can't be written with square roots: 62° is not a multiple of 3°.

    P(cos 62°, sin 62°) ≈ (0.4695, 0.8829)

    xyOP

    P(cos 62°, sin 62°) ≈ (0.4695, 0.8829)

    Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.4695.

    FAQ

    What is cos 62°?

    cos 62° ≈ 0.4695

    Why does cos 62° 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°. 62° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 62° ≈ 0.4695.

    Why does a calculator show 0.6735 for cos 62?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 62 as the cosine of 62 radians, cos 62 rad ≈ 0.6735. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 62° ≈ 0.4695. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
