You can also use more natural phrases for this operation:
Trigonometric functions take a value in radians by default.
If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter, or append "d" to the function name:
sin(90 degrees) = 1.0
sind(90) = 1.0
Inverse trigonometric functions return a value in radians by default.
If you want to use degrees, specify this in the parameter, or append "d" to the function name:
asin(0.5 degrees) = 30º
asind(0.5) = 30º
