How to Use the Trigonometric Functions Calculator

This guide will walk you through the process of using the Trigonometric Functions Calculator, designed to compute various trigonometric values based on a given angle.

Step 1: Entering the Angle

  1. Locate the “Angle” Input Field: Find the input field labeled “Angle” in the calculator interface. This is where you will enter the angle value for which you wish to calculate trigonometric functions.
  2. Enter the Angle: Input your desired angle value in the field. You must enter a number between -360 and 360. The input supports decimal precision, so you can enter the value in increments of 0.1 if needed.

Step 2: Choosing the Angle Unit

  1. Locate the “Angle Unit” Dropdown: Find the dropdown menu labeled “Angle Unit” next to the angle input field.
  2. Select the Unit: Choose between “Degrees” and “Radians” depending on the unit of your angle. Selecting the correct unit is crucial for accurate calculations.

Step 3: Viewing the Results

Once the angle value is entered and the unit is selected, the calculator will automatically compute the trigonometric functions and display the results. The following values will be calculated:

  • Sine (sin): Displays the sine of the angle, formatted to six decimal places.
  • Cosine (cos): Displays the cosine of the angle, also formatted to six decimal places.
  • Tangent (tan): Displays the tangent of the angle, formatted to six decimal places.
  • Cosecant (csc): Calculates the cosecant of the angle; note that it is the reciprocal of the sine.
  • Secant (sec): Calculates the secant of the angle, the reciprocal of the cosine.
  • Cotangent (cot): Displays the cotangent of the angle; this is the reciprocal of the tangent.
  • Inverse Sine (arcsin): Displays the inverse sine of the angle. If in degrees, it converts the result back to degrees.
  • Inverse Cosine (arccos): Shows the inverse cosine of the angle, converted to degrees if necessary.
  • Inverse Tangent (arctan): Reveals the inverse tangent of the angle, converted to degrees if the selected unit is “Degrees”.

Ensure your results are as expected by verifying the angle value and unit before proceeding with calculations. This calculator will provide precise trigonometric values based on your inputs.
