SIN(number)

 
 Returns the sine of an angle in radians.

 numberThe number you want the sine of.

 REMARKS
 
  		• The "number" is the angle in radians.
     
  		• If "number" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
     
  		• If your argument is in degrees, multiply it by PI()/180 to convert it to radians.
     
  		• You can use the DEGREES() function to convert from radians to degrees.
     
  		• The inverse of this function is the ASIN() function.

     EXAMPLES
     
     A
    1=SIN(0.5) = 0.479
    2=SIN(60*PI()/180) = 0.866
    3=SIN(-50) = 0.262
    4=SIN(ASIN(0.5)) = 0.5
    5=SIN("some text") = #VALUE!
