Cot 390 Degrees

The value of cot 390 degrees is 1.7320508. . .. Cot 390 degrees in radians is written as cot (390° × π/180°), i.e., cot (13π/6) or cot (6.806784. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of cot 390 degrees with examples.

• Cot 390°: √3
• Cot 390° in decimal: 1.7320508. . .
• Cot (-390 degrees): -1.7320508. . . or -√3
• Cot 390° in radians: cot (13π/6) or cot (6.8067840 . . .)

What is the Value of Cot 390 Degrees?

The value of cot 390 degrees in decimal is 1.732050807. . .. Cot 390 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (390 degrees) in radians (6.80678 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 390 degrees = 390° × (π/180°) rad = 13π/6 or 6.8067 . . .
∴ cot 390° = cot(6.8067) = √3 or 1.7320508. . .

Explanation:

For cot 390°, the angle 390° > 360°. We can represent cot 390° as, cot(390° mod 360°) = cot(30°). The angle 390°, coterminal to angle 30°, is located in the First Quadrant(Quadrant I).
Since cotangent function is positive in the 1st quadrant, thus cot 390 degrees value = √3 or 1.7320508. . .
Similarly, given the periodic property of cot 390°, it can also be written as, cot 390 degrees = (390° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ cot 390° = cot 570° = cot 750°, and so on.
Note: Since, cotangent is an odd function, the value of cot(-390°) = -cot(390°).

Methods to Find Value of Cot 390 Degrees

The cotangent function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of cot 390° is given as 1.73205. . . We can find the value of cot 390 degrees by:

• Using Unit Circle
• Using Trigonometric Functions

Cot 390 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of cot 390 degrees using the unit circle, represent 390° in the form (1 × 360°) + 30° [∵ 390°>360°] ∵ The angle 390° is coterminal to 30° angle and also cotangent is a periodic function, cot 390° = cot 30°.

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 30° or 390° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The cot of 390 degrees equals the x-coordinate(0.866) divided by y-coordinate(0.5) of the point of intersection (0.866, 0.5) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of cot 390° = x/y = 1.7321 (approx).
