Below is an inverse cotangent calculator (or arccot calculator), which calculates an angle from the ratio from the cotangent function. Enter a result and choose to return radians or degrees, then compute the angle.

## Using the Arccotangent Calculator

To use the tool to find the angle from a known cotangent, enter the ratio and the units you'd like and compute.

• Cotangent - ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side
• Output Degrees or Radians? - choose to return degrees or radians

Once you're happy, click the "Compute Arccot" button.

• Angle - the input angle if you wanted to get the cotangent you entered

## What is the arccotangent or inverse cotangent?

Arccotangent is the inverse of the cotangent, which is the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle.

### Arccotangent as a formula

Inverse cotangent is usually abbreviated as "arccot" or "acot", as in the following equation:

arccot(y)=acot(y)

Where it is the inverse of cotangent, or:

x=arccot(y)\\y=cot(x)

Next, see all the inverse trigonometric functions or trigonometric functions in one tool.
