What is cot 35°?

Answer

cot 35° ≈
1.4281

Angle in radians: 35° = 7π/36. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cotangent is positive.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cot 35° can't be written with square roots: 35° is not a multiple of 3°.

cot 35° = cos 35° / sin 35° ≈ 1.4281

xyOP

P(cos 35°, sin 35°) ≈ (0.8192, 0.5736)

C(cot 35°, 1) ≈ (1.4281, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1.

FAQ

What is cot 35°?

cot 35° ≈ 1.4281

Why does cot 35° 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°. 35° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cot 35° ≈ 1.4281.

Why does a calculator show 2.1105 for cot 35?

The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 35 as the cotangent of 35 radians, cot 35 rad ≈ 2.1105. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 35° ≈ 1.4281. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
