Cos 270 Degrees

cos(270°) = 0.

Answer

cos(270°) = 0. The angle 270° equals 3π/2 radians (270 × π/180).

This is an exact value: 0.

Where 270° sits on the unit circle

270° lies on the negative y-axis. Remember that cosine is positive in quadrants I and IV, and negative in the others, which decides the sign of the answer.

How to calculate cos 270° on a scientific calculator

  1. Set the calculator to DEG (degrees) mode.
  2. Press cos.
  3. Type 270.
  4. Press = to get 0.

If you get a different number, the calculator is probably in RAD mode. In radians you would enter 3π/2 instead of 270.
