Cómo funciona

  1. 1

    Enter the angle in degrees.

  2. 2

    The calculator converts degrees to radians.

  3. 3

    It computes the tangent of the angle.

  4. 4

    It takes the reciprocal to get the cotangent.

1 / tan(angle * pi / 180)

Preguntas frecuentes

What is cotangent?

Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent: cot(x) = 1/tan(x).

Why is cotangent undefined at 0° and 180°?

Because tangent is zero at those angles, so the reciprocal is undefined.

Can I input angles in radians?

This calculator uses degrees. For radians, multiply by 180/π.

Consejos y errores comunes

Tips

  • Remember cot(θ) = cos(θ)/sin(θ).
  • Use a calculator with degree mode for quick checks.
  • Cotangent is periodic with period 180°.
  • For angles where tan is zero, cot is undefined.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to convert degrees to radians in manual calculations.
  • Confusing cotangent with arctangent.
  • Using the calculator in radian mode when entering degrees.

Supuestos y limitaciones

  • Use the stated inputs and units.
  • Results are estimates for planning and education.
  • Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
