What is cot 37°?

Answer

cot 37° ≈
1.3270

Angle in radians: 37° = 37π/180. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cotangent is positive.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cot 37° can't be written with square roots: 37° is not a multiple of 3°.

cot 37° = cos 37° / sin 37° ≈ 1.3270

xyOP

P(cos 37°, sin 37°) ≈ (0.7986, 0.6018)

C(cot 37°, 1) ≈ (1.3270, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1.

FAQ

What is cot 37°?

cot 37° ≈ 1.3270

Why does cot 37° 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°. 37° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cot 37° ≈ 1.3270.

Why does a calculator show −1.1894 for cot 37?

The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 37 as the cotangent of 37 radians, cot 37 rad ≈ −1.1894. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 37° ≈ 1.3270. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
