RADIANS(a)

  • where   is an angle in degrees.

RADIANS() converts the angle in degrees to angle in radians.

Description

  • One radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that is equal in length to the radius of the circle.
  • The radian is represented by symbol rad.
  • Formula for converting from degrees to radians is :

Angle in radians = angle in degrees X  

  • If argument   is non-numeric, Calci returns a NaN error.
  • RADIANS() can be used for array of angles from 0 to 90 degress in steps of 15 degrees as -

RADIANS(0..90..15)
