ASIN (arcsine)

Syntax:

ASIN(Number)

Description:

Returns the arcsine of Number, i.e., the angle whose sine is Number.

Number must be > -1 and < 1.

The result is expressed in radians.

Example:

ASIN(1) returns 1.5708... (corresponds to PI()/2, thus 90°)

ASIN(SIN(0.1234)) returns 0.1234

Tip:

You can use the DEGREES function to convert the result from radians to degrees.
