The ASIN function returns the arcsine (in radians) of a given number.
This function takes a single as input. It outputs another Number: the arcsine, in radians, of the given number.
number (required, type: Number
) Any number.
arcsine (type: Number
) The arcsine, in radians, of the given number.
The following example returns the arcsine of 1. Note that the arcsine of one is ninety degrees, or 0.5Ï€ radians, but the ASIN function doesn't output an angle in degrees or in radians in terms of pi. Rather, it provides a numerical estimation of the angle in radians:
To calculate the arctangent in degrees, the ASIN function must be used in tandem with the function, such as in the following example:
ASIN can also be used in tandem with the function to provide insight into how the angle in radians relates to terms of pi, such as in the following example:
