ASIN (N1)
- Where N1 is the sine of the angle and is from -1 to 1.
- Calci returns the arcsine (inverse sine) of a number. Output is the angle in radians.
- If you want 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) can give the arcsine or inversesine values for each element.
Description
ASIN(N)
Consider N = (-0.8) then =ASIN((-0.8)) gives -0.9273
- ASIN function determines the arcsine of the given number.
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
