C# | Math.Acos() Method

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
Math.Acos() is an inbuilt Math class method which returns the angle whose cosine is given as a double value argument. If the argument is NaN, then the result will be NaN. Syntax:
public static double Acos(double num)
Parameter:
num: It is the number that represents cosine and type of this parameter is System.Double. It must be greater than or equal to -1, but less than or equal to 1.
Return Type: Returns an angle Θ, measured in radians and its type is System.Double. Here the angle is always measured in radians, such that 0 ≤ Θ ≤ π. Note: If the value of the num is greater than 1 or less than -1 or equals to NaN, then this method always returns NaN as result. To convert the radians(return value) to degrees multiply it by 180 / Math.PI. Examples:
Input : Math.Acos(2)
Output : NaN

Input : Math.Acos(0.3584)
Output : 1.20424285296577
 
Input : Math.Acos(0.0)
Output : 1.5707963267949

Input : Math.Acos(-0.0)
Output : 1.5707963267949

Input : Math.Acos(Double.PositiveInfinity)
Output : NaN

Input : Math.Acos(Double.NegativeInfinity)
Output : NaN
Program: To illustrate the Math.Acos() method
Output:
