What is cot 89°?

Answer

cot 89° ≈
0.0175

Angle in radians: 89° = 89π/180. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where cotangent is positive.

≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. cot 89° can't be written with square roots: 89° is not a multiple of 3°.

cot 89° = cos 89° / sin 89° ≈ 0.0175

xyOP

P(cos 89°, sin 89°) ≈ (0.0175, 0.9998)

C(cot 89°, 1) ≈ (0.0175, 1) — where line OP meets the line y = 1.

FAQ

What is cot 89°?

cot 89° ≈ 0.0175

Why does cot 89° 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°. 89° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: cot 89° ≈ 0.0175.

Why does a calculator show 0.5932 for cot 89?

The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes cot 89 as the cotangent of 89 radians, cot 89 rad ≈ 0.5932. Switch it to degrees (DEG): cot 89° ≈ 0.0175. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
