Cot 25 Degrees

The value of cot 25 degrees is 2.1445069. . .. Cot 25 degrees in radians is written as cot (25° × π/180°), i.e., cot (5π/36) or cot (0.436332. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of cot 25 degrees with examples.

• Cot 25° in decimal: 2.1445069. . .
• Cot (-25 degrees): -2.1445069. . .
• Cot 25° in radians: cot (5π/36) or cot (0.4363323 . . .)

What is the Value of Cot 25 Degrees?

The value of cot 25 degrees in decimal is 2.144506920. . .. Cot 25 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (25 degrees) in radians (0.43633 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 25 degrees = 25° × (π/180°) rad = 5π/36 or 0.4363 . . .
∴ cot 25° = cot(0.4363) = 2.1445069. . .

Explanation:

For cot 25 degrees, the angle 25° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since cotangent function is positive in the first quadrant, thus cot 25° value = 2.1445069. . .
Since the cotangent function is a periodic function, we can represent cot 25° as, cot 25 degrees = cot(25° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ cot 25° = cot 205° = cot 385°, and so on.
Note: Since, cotangent is an odd function, the value of cot(-25°) = -cot(25°).

Methods to Find Value of Cot 25 Degrees

The cotangent function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of cot 25° is given as 2.14450. . . We can find the value of cot 25 degrees by:

• Using Trigonometric Functions
• Using Unit Circle

Cot 25° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the cot 25 degrees as:

• cos(25°)/sin(25°)
• ± cos 25°/√(1 - cos²(25°))
• ± √(1 - sin²(25°))/sin 25°
• ± 1/√(sec²(25°) - 1)
• ± √(cosec²(25°) - 1)
• 1/tan 25°

Note: Since 25° lies in the 1st Quadrant, the final value of cot 25° will be positive.

We can use trigonometric identities to represent cot 25° as,

• tan (90° - 25°) = tan 65°
• -tan (90° + 25°) = -tan 115°
• -cot (180° - 25°) = -cot 155°

Cot 25 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of cot 25 degrees using the unit circle:

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 25° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The cot of 25 degrees equals the x-coordinate(0.9063) divided by y-coordinate(0.4226) of the point of intersection (0.9063, 0.4226) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of cot 25° = x/y = 2.1445 (approx).
