ASIN(x)


  • Where x is the sine of the angle in Radians.
  • Calci returns the arcsine (inverse sine) of a number. Output is the angle in radians.
  • To convert arcsine to the degrees, multiply it by 180/PI.

The number can be a single value or any number of values.

For example, ASIN(0.5,(-0.2),1) gives the arcsine or inversesine values for each element.

Description

ASIN(n)

Consider n = (-0.8) then, ASIN((-0.8)) is -0.9273

  • This function is the Inverse function of Sin in trigonometry.
  • It's also called as Cyclometric function.
  • ASIN is described as Arcsin and denoted by  (x).
  • In ASIN(X) ,x value should be with in -1 & 1.
  • ASIN function determines the arcsine of the given number.

Here x is in Radians. To convert a degree value to radian, multiply 'x' with PI()/180 or use the Radians function RADIANS(X)

To find the angle in degrees, multiply the result angle with 180/PI. DEGREES function can also be used.
For example ASIN(-0.8)*180/PI() or DEGREES(ASIN(-0.8)) gives -53.13010235415598

Examples

ASIN(N) Value
ASIN(-0.8) -0.9273
ASIN(1) 1.5707963267948965
ASIN(0.559) 0.5931792803038736
