Cot 306 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is cot 306°?
Answer
cot 306° =
−√(5 − 2√5) ≈ −0.7265
Angle in radians: 306° = 17π/10. The point of the angle is in quadrant IV, where cotangent is negative.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.
cot 306° = cot(360° − 54°) = −cot 54° = −√(5 − 2√5)
cot 306° = cos 306° / sin 306° = (√(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)
P(cos 306°, sin 306°) ≈ (0.5878, −0.8090)
C(cot 306°, 1) ≈ (−0.7265, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1, on the extension of the ray beyond O (dashed).
| Function | Exact value | Decimal |
|---|---|---|
| sin 306° | −(√5 + 1)/4 | ≈ −0.8090 |
| cos 306° | √(10 − 2√5)/4 | ≈ 0.5878 |
| tan 306° | −√(25 + 10√5)/5 | ≈ −1.3764 |
| cot 306° | −√(5 − 2√5) | ≈ −0.7265 |
