What is cot 83°?

Answer

cot 83° ≈
0.1228

Angle in radians: 83° = 83π/180. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cotangent is positive.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cot 83° can't be written with square roots: 83° is not a multiple of 3°.

cot 83° = cos 83° / sin 83° ≈ 0.1228

xyOP

P(cos 83°, sin 83°) ≈ (0.1219, 0.9925)

C(cot 83°, 1) ≈ (0.1228, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1.

FAQ

What is cot 83°?

cot 83° ≈ 0.1228

Why does cot 83° 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°. 83° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cot 83° ≈ 0.1228.

Why does a calculator show 0.2577 for cot 83?

The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 83 as the cotangent of 83 radians, cot 83 rad ≈ 0.2577. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 83° ≈ 0.1228. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
