ASIN (N)


  • 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

Examples

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