Trigonometric Functions

Storyboard

Trigonometric functions allow you to determine the angles of rectangular triangles based on their sides. In turn they allow the calculation of the sides based on other sides and angles of the triangle.

Otherwise, trigonometric functions can be used to describe physical processes that include oscillations.

Calculation in radians and degrees

Image

>Top


In many cases it is necessary to work with radians instead of degrees. In these cases it is necessary to configure the calculator so that what is entered or this output corresponds to radians or degrees.

To configure the calculator you must locate the function for it. In many, the mode (RAD or DEG) is defined or there is a selection between the two modes:



GRDs do not correspond to degrees, it is a decimal measure in which the 90 degree angle is defined as 100.
