Cos 70 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 70°?
Answer
cos 70° ≈
0.3420
Angle in radians: 70° = 7π/18. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 70° can't be written with square roots: 70° is not a multiple of 3°.
P(cos 70°, sin 70°) ≈ (0.3420, 0.9397)
P(cos 70°, sin 70°) ≈ (0.3420, 0.9397)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.3420.

FAQ
What is cos 70°?
cos 70° ≈ 0.3420
Why does cos 70° 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°. 70° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 70° ≈ 0.3420.
Why does a calculator show 0.6333 for cos 70?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 70 as the cosine of 70 radians, cos 70 rad ≈ 0.6333. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 70° ≈ 0.3420. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
