Sin function

Returns the sine value of a corner.

Sin(number)

The number argument can be any valid numeric expression that represents a corner as radians.

Description

The Sin function takes a corner and returns the ratio on both sides of the right-angled triangle. This ratio is the ratio of the length of the side to the length of the hypotenuse in the right triangle. The range of results is between 1 and 1.

Multiplying the angle by pi/180 can be converted to radians, and the radian multiplied by the 180/PI can be converted to an angle.

The following example uses sin to return the sine of an angle:

Dim MyAngle, MyCosecantMyAngle = 1.3                   Defines an angle in radians. Sin(MyAngle) 'calculate the remaining cut.
