Sin Function

Returns the sine of an angle. The angle is specified in radians. The result lies between -1 and 1.

Using the angle Alpha, the Sin function returns the ratio of the length of the opposite side of an angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle.

Sin(Alpha) = side opposite the angle/hypotenuse

Syntax:


Sin (Number As Double) As Double

Return value:

Double

Parameters:

Number: Numeric expression that defines the angle in radians that you want to calculate the sine for.

To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by Pi/180, and to convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/Pi.

degrees=(radians*180)/Pi

radians=(degrees*Pi)/180

Pi is approximately 3.141593.
