Welcome to cos 720°, our post aboutthe cosine of 720 degrees.
For the cosine of 720 degrees we use the abbreviation cos for the trigonometric function together with the degree symbol °, and write it as cos 720°.
If you have been looking for what is cos 720°, or if you have been wondering about cos 720 degrees in radians, then you are right here, too.
In this post you can find the cos 720° value, along with identities.
Read on to learn all about the cos of 720°.
Cos 720 Degrees
If you want to know what is cos 720 degrees in terms of trigonometry, then navigate straight to the explanations in the next paragraph; what’s ahead in this section is the value of cos 720°:
cos 720° = 1
cos 720 degrees = 1
The cos of 720 degrees is 1, the same as cos of 720 degrees in radians. To obtain 720 degrees in radian multiply 720° by $\pi$ / 180° = 4/1 $\pi$. Cos 720degrees = cos (4/1 × $\pi)$.
Our results of cos720° have been rounded to five decimal places. If you want cosine 720° with higher accuracy, then use the calculator below; our tool displays ten decimal places.
To calculate cos 720 degrees insert the angle 720 in the field labelled °, but if you want to calculate cos 720 in radians, then you have to press the swap unit button first.
Calculate cos [degrees]
The identities of cosine 720° are as follows:
= sin (90°+720°) = sin 810°
= sin (90°-720°) = sin -630°
-cos720°
= cos (180°+720°) = cos 900°
= cos (180°-720°) = cos -540°
There are more formulas for the double angle (2 × 720°), half angle ((720/2)°) as well as the sum, difference and products of two angles such as 720° and β.
You can locate all of them in the respective article found in the header menu. To find everything about cos -720° click the link. And here is all about sin 720°, including, for instance, a converter.
In terms of the other five trigonometric functions, cos of 720° =
- $\pm \sqrt{1-\sin^{2} 720 ^\circ}$
- $\pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} 720^\circ}}$
- $\pm\frac{\cot 720^\circ}{\sqrt{1 + \cot^{2} 720^\circ}}$
- $\frac{1}{\sec 720^\circ}$
- $\pm\frac{\sqrt{\csc^{2} 720^\circ – 1} }{\csc 720^\circ}$
As the cosine function is the reciprocal of the secant function, 1 / sec 720° = cos720°.
In the next part we discuss the trigonometric significance of cos720°, and there you can also learn what the search calculations form in the sidebar is used for.
What is cos 720°?
In a circle with the radius r, the horizontal axis x, and the vertical axis y, 720 degrees is the angle formed by the two sides x and r; r moving counterclockwise is the positive angle.
As detailed in the unit-circle definition on our homepage, assumed r = 1, in the intersection of the point (x,y) and the circle, x = cos 720°.
Note that you can locate many terms including the cosine720° value using the search form. On mobile devices you can find it by scrolling down. Enter, for instance, value of cos720°.
Along the same lines, using the aforementioned form, can you look up terms such as cos 720° value, cos 720, cos720° value and what is the cos of 720 degrees, just to name a few.
Given the periodic property of cosine of 720°, to determine the cosine of an angle > 360°, e.g. 1440°, calculate cos 1440° as cos (1440 Mod 360)° = cosine of 720°, or look it up with our form.
