About this calculator

This trigonometry calculator normalizes any angle and reports unit-circle coordinates, quadrant, and exact values for special angles.

Formula notes

Normalize the angle to 0-360 degrees, then compute sine, cosine, and tangent with standard trigonometric functions; special angles also receive exact radical forms.

Worked examples

  1. Example: 45 degrees gives sine and cosine sqrt(2)/2, tangent 1, and quadrant I.
  2. At 90 degrees, cosine is 0, so tangent is undefined while sine is 1.

How to use it

  1. Enter an angle in degrees, radians, x pi radians, or turns.
  2. Read the normalized angle and quadrant.
  3. Check sine, cosine, tangent, and exact special-angle values.

Frequently asked questions

Why is tangent undefined for some angles?

At 90 and 270 degrees cosine is zero, so tangent has no finite value; the tool reports it as undefined.

Are exact values available for every angle?

No. Exact labels are provided for common special angles; other angles use numeric trigonometric results.

Limits and interpretation

  • Trigonometric outputs use JavaScript double-precision math; tiny floating-point residuals can appear near special angles.
  • Exact radical labels are available only for recognized special angles; other angles show numeric values.
