Cot 35 Degrees
The value of cot 35 degrees is 1.4281480. . .. Cot 35 degrees in radians is written as cot (35° × π/180°), i.e., cot (7π/36) or cot (0.610865. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of cot 35 degrees with examples.
- Cot 35° in decimal: 1.4281480. . .
- Cot (-35 degrees): -1.4281480. . .
- Cot 35° in radians: cot (7π/36) or cot (0.6108652 . . .)
What is the Value of Cot 35 Degrees?
The value of cot 35 degrees in decimal is 1.428148006. . .. Cot 35 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (35 degrees) in radians (0.61086 . . .)
We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 35 degrees = 35° × (π/180°) rad = 7π/36 or 0.6108 . . .
∴ cot 35° = cot(0.6108) = 1.4281480. . .
Explanation:
For cot 35 degrees, the angle 35° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since cotangent function is positive in the first quadrant, thus cot 35° value = 1.4281480. . .
Since the cotangent function is a periodic function, we can represent cot 35° as, cot 35 degrees = cot(35° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ cot 35° = cot 215° = cot 395°, and so on.
Note: Since, cotangent is an odd function, the value of cot(-35°) = -cot(35°).
Methods to Find Value of Cot 35 Degrees
The cotangent function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of cot 35° is given as 1.42814. . . We can find the value of cot 35 degrees by:

Cot 35° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions
Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the cot 35 degrees as:
- cos(35°)/sin(35°)
- ± cos 35°/√(1 - cos²(35°))
- ± √(1 - sin²(35°))/sin 35°
- ± 1/√(sec²(35°) - 1)
- ± √(cosec²(35°) - 1)
- 1/tan 35°
Note: Since 35° lies in the 1st Quadrant, the final value of cot 35° will be positive.
We can use trigonometric identities to represent cot 35° as,
- tan (90° - 35°) = tan 55°
- -tan (90° + 35°) = -tan 125°
- -cot (180° - 35°) = -cot 145°
Cot 35 Degrees Using Unit Circle
To find the value of cot 35 degrees using the unit circle:
- Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 35° angle with the positive x-axis.
- The cot of 35 degrees equals the x-coordinate(0.8192) divided by y-coordinate(0.5736) of the point of intersection (0.8192, 0.5736) of unit circle and r.
Hence the value of cot 35° = x/y = 1.4281 (approx).

Example 1: Simplify: 5 (cot 35°/tan 55°)
Solution:
We know cot 35° = tan 55°
⇒ 5 cot 35°/tan 55° = 5 (cot 35°/cot 35°)
= 5(1) = 5 -
Example 2: Find the value of (cos (35°) cosec (17.5°) sec (17.5°))/2. [Hint: Use cot 35° = 1.4281]
Solution:
Using trigonometry formulas,
(cos (35°) cosec (17.5°) sec (17.5°))/2 = cos (35°)/(2 sin (17.5°) cos (17.5°))
Using sin 2a formula,
2 sin (17.5°) cos (17.5°) = sin (2 × 17.5°) = sin 35°
⇒ cos (35°) / sin (35°) = cot 35°
⇒ (cos (35°) cosec (17.5°) sec (17.5°))/2 = 1.4281 -
Example 3: Find the value of 2 cot(35°)/3 cot(145°).
Solution:
Using trigonometric identities, we know, cot(35°) = -cot(180° - 35°) = -cot 145°.
⇒ cot(35°) = -cot(145°)
⇒ Value of 2 cot(35°)/3 cot(145°) = -2/3
