Table of Contents
The ACOT function in Google Sheets is a mathematical function that calculates the arccotangent of a given number. To use this function, you must first select the cell where you want the result to appear. Then, type the equal sign followed by “ACOT(” and enter the number or cell reference for which you want to find the arccotangent. Finally, close the bracket and press enter. The result will appear in the selected cell. This function can be useful for various mathematical calculations, such as finding the angle of a right triangle.
ACOT function
The ACOT function returns the inverse cotangent of a value in radians.
Parts of an ACOT function
ACOT(value)
| Part | Description | Notes |
value | The value for which to calculate the inverse cotangent. |
|
Sample formulas
ACOT(0)
ACOT(-1)
ACOT(A1)
Notes
- ACOT returns results that are between 0 and π (pi).
- ACOT is sometimes written as “arccot” or “cot-1(x)” in mathematics or other programs.
- Use the DEGREES function to convert the result of ACOT from radians to degrees.
Examples
This example shows the inverse cotangent of numbers in radians:
| A | B | |
| 1 | Formula | Result |
| 2 | =ACOT(4) | 0.2449786631 |
| 3 | =ACOT(-4) | -0.2449786631 |
| 4 | =ACOT(0) | 1.570796327 |
This example shows the inverse cotangent of numbers converted to degrees:
| A | B | C | |
| 1 | Data | Formula | Result |
| 2 | 4 | =DEGREES(ACOT(A2)) | 14.03624347 |
| 3 | -4 | =DEGREES(ACOT(A3)) | -14.03624347 |
| 4 | 0 | =DEGREES(ACOT(A4)) | 90 |
