    What is cot 234°?

    Answer

    cot 234° =
    √(5 − 2√5) ≈ 0.7265

    Angle in radians: 234° = 13π/10. The point of the angle is in quadrant III, where cotangent is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.

    cot 234° = cot(180° + 54°) = cot 54° = √(5 − 2√5)

    cot 234° = cos 234° / sin 234° = (−√(10 − 2√5)/4) / (−(√5 + 1)/4) = √(5 − 2√5)

    Regular pentagon (golden ratio): cos 36° = (√5 + 1)/4.

    cot 54° = tan 36° = sin 36° / cos 36° = √(5 − 2√5)

    xyOP

    P(cos 234°, sin 234°) ≈ (−0.5878, −0.8090)

    C(cot 234°, 1) ≈ (0.7265, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1, on the extension of the ray beyond O (dashed).

    FAQ

    What is cot 234°?

    cot 234° = √(5 − 2√5) ≈ 0.7265

    How are sin 36° and cos 54° related?

    They are equal: sin α = cos(90° − α), and 36° + 54° = 90°. So sin 36° = cos 54° = √(10 − 2√5)/4, cos 36° = sin 54° = (√5 + 1)/4, and tan 36° = cot 54° = √(5 − 2√5).

    Why does a calculator show 0.0487 for cot 234?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 234 as the cotangent of 234 radians, cot 234 rad ≈ 0.0487. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 234° = √(5 − 2√5) ≈ 0.7265. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
