    What is cot 324°?

    Answer

    cot 324° =
    −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764

    Angle in radians: 324° = 9π/5. The point of the angle is in quadrant IV, where cotangent is negative.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.

    cot 324° = cot(360° − 36°) = −cot 36° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5

    cot 324° = cos 324° / sin 324° = ((√5 + 1)/4) / (−√(10 − 2√5)/4) = −√(25 + 10√5)/5

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

    cot 36° = cos 36° / sin 36° = √(25 + 10√5)/5

    xyOP

    P(cos 324°, sin 324°) ≈ (0.8090, −0.5878)

    C(cot 324°, 1) ≈ (−1.3764, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1, on the extension of the ray beyond O (dashed).

    Cot 324 Degrees: Cotangent of 324° on the Unit Circle. cot 324° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764. The cotangent is the ratio x/y of the point at 324° on the unit circle; 324° reduces to 36°.

    FAQ

    What is cot 324°?

    cot 324° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764

    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 2.2638 for cot 324?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 324 as the cotangent of 324 radians, cot 324 rad ≈ 2.2638. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 324° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
