Sin
Returns a Double specifying the sine of an angle.
Syntax: Sin( number )
- number
- required A Double or any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.
The Sin function takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. The ratio is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The result lies in the range -1 to 1.
To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by pi/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/pi.
Example
This example uses the Sin function to return the sine of an angle.
Dim MyAngle, MyCosecant
MyAngle = 1.3 ' Define angle in radians.
MyCosecant = 1 / Sin(MyAngle) ' Calculate cosecant.
