Cos 79 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cos 79°?
Answer
cos 79° ≈
0.1908
Angle in radians: 79° = 79π/180. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cosine is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cos 79° can't be written with square roots: 79° is not a multiple of 3°.
P(cos 79°, sin 79°) ≈ (0.1908, 0.9816)
P(cos 79°, sin 79°) ≈ (0.1908, 0.9816)
Highlighted: the projection on the x-axis — cosine, x ≈ 0.1908.

FAQ
What is cos 79°?
cos 79° ≈ 0.1908
Why does cos 79° 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°. 79° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cos 79° ≈ 0.1908.
Why does a calculator show −0.8960 for cos 79?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cos 79 as the cosine of 79 radians, cos 79 rad ≈ −0.8960. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cos 79° ≈ 0.1908. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
