Cos 74 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 74°?
Answer
cos 74° ≈
0.2756
Angle in radians: 74° = 37π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 74° can't be written with square roots: 74° is not a multiple of 3°.
P(cos 74°, sin 74°) ≈ (0.2756, 0.9613)
P(cos 74°, sin 74°) ≈ (0.2756, 0.9613)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.2756.

FAQ
What is cos 74°?
cos 74° ≈ 0.2756
Why does cos 74° 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°. 74° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 74° ≈ 0.2756.
Why does a calculator show 0.1717 for cos 74?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 74 as the cosine of 74 radians, cos 74 rad ≈ 0.1717. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 74° ≈ 0.2756. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
