Description
The SIN function returns the sine of a given angle in radians. The sine of an angle is a trigonometric function that represents the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
Syntax
SIN(angle_in_radians)
The SIN function syntax has the following arguments:
- angle_in_radians: Required. The angle in radians for which you want to calculate the sine.
Example
| Formula | Description | Result |
| =SIN(PI()/2) | Calculates the sine of 90 degrees (π/2 radians). | 1 |
| =SIN(0) | Calculates the sine of 0 degrees. | 0 |
| =SIN(PI()) | Calculates the sine of 180 degrees (π radians). | 0 |
