What is cot 44°?

Answer

cot 44° ≈
1.0355

Angle in radians: 44° = 11π/45. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cotangent is positive.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cot 44° can't be written with square roots: 44° is not a multiple of 3°.

cot 44° = cos 44° / sin 44° ≈ 1.0355

xyOP

P(cos 44°, sin 44°) ≈ (0.7193, 0.6947)

C(cot 44°, 1) ≈ (1.0355, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1.

FAQ

What is cot 44°?

cot 44° ≈ 1.0355

Why does cot 44° 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°. 44° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cot 44° ≈ 1.0355.

Why does a calculator show 56.4822 for cot 44?

The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 44 as the cotangent of 44 radians, cot 44 rad ≈ 56.4822. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 44° ≈ 1.0355. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
