SIN

 

Use to give the sine of an angle.

 

In a right angled triangle, the sine of an angle is the length of the opposite side (O) divided by the length of the hypotenuse (H).

 

sinx = O/H

So for an example we could transpose the formula to find either O or H if we know the angle x.

 

O = H * sinx or H = O/sinx

 

In the software we would enter the following for the values where O is 26 and H is 30 and x is 60 degrees

 

=(SIN(60))*30 and =26/(SIN(60))
