So berechnen Sie Cos

learn.whatIsHeading

The cosine function (cos) is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, or the x-coordinate on the unit circle. Cosine is the "horizontal component" of an angle, while sine is the vertical component.

Formel

In a right triangle: cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
In
adjacent / hypotenuse — adjacent / hypotenuse

Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

  1. 1In a right triangle: cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
  2. 2On the unit circle: cos(θ) = x-coordinate at angle θ
  3. 3cos(θ°) = cos(θ × π/180)
  4. 4Key identity: sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1 (Pythagorean identity)
