How to find the cosine of an angle not on the unit circle?
We will use the idea of a power series expansion and the Taylor series expansion of cosine If you remember the power series of cosine, you will know that:
How to find the cosine of an angle in degrees?
If you want to find the cosine of an angle expressed in degrees, you have two options: you can find the radian equivalent of the angle in degrees and then use the cosine function, or you can use the handy degrees to radians conversion tool. The radian equivalent of an angle in degrees is the measure of the angle that has a circumference of one radian.
How to find the cosine of an angle
Finding the cosine of an angle not on the unit circle is much more challenging than finding it on the unit circle. In the previous section, we saw that there are two ways to do so: by using the sum or product rules. While the sum rule works for any angle, the product rule only works for angles whose sides add up to 90° or whose sine or cosine is 1.
How to find out the cosine of an angle?
The cosine of an angle is one of the trigonometric functions. It is a measure of the length of an angle in a right triangle when the length of the adjacent side is 1. You can use the cosine of an angle to determine the area of a triangle with right-angled sides or the length of a segment along a circular arc. Here are a few examples of how to find the cosine of an angle:
How to find the cosine of an angle not on the unit circle without calculator?
There are a few different techniques you can use to solve this problem. First, you can use a tool outside of math. Online calculators are really good at solving basic trigonometric problems. There are also many smartphone apps that can help you. However, if you want to do this the easy way, you can use a calculator program. Most calculators have a “sin-cos” function. You can enter an angle in degrees and your calculator will return the sine and cos
