COT
The COT function returns the cotangent of an angle provided in radians.
Syntax 🔗
=COT(number
)
number | The angle in radians for which you want to find the cotangent. |
About COT 🔗
Use the COT function in Excel to find the cotangent of an angle expressed in radians. Simply provide the angle in radians as the input, and the function returns the cotangent, which is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right-angled triangle. This function is useful for trigonometric calculations and analyses involving angles. It helps you calculate cotangent values efficiently for geometric, engineering, or scientific tasks.
Examples 🔗
To find the cotangent of an angle in radians, such as π/4 (equivalent to 45 degrees), use the COT function:
=COT(PI()/4)
This returns the cotangent value of the angle π/4.
Notes 🔗
The COT function requires the angle to be in radians. If your angle is in degrees, convert it to radians using the RADIANS function. The COT function returns the cotangent of the angle, representing the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right-angled triangle.
Questions 🔗
No, the COT function only accepts angles in radians. If you have an angle in degrees, you will need to convert it to radians using the RADIANS function before using it with the COT function.
What does the output of the COT function represent?The output of the COT function represents the cotangent of the input angle. In the context of a right-angled triangle formed by the angle, the cotangent signifies the ratio of the length of the adjacent side to the length of the opposite side.
