COS(radians)
| COS | Returns cosine. |
| radians | A numeric constant, variable or expression for the angle in radians. p is a constant which represents the ratio of the circumference and radius of a circle. There are 2p radians (or 360 degrees) in a circle. |
The COS procedure returns the trigonometric cosine of an angle measured in radians. The cosine is the ratio of the length of the angle's adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
| Return Data Type: | REAL |
Example:
PI EQUATE(3.1415926535898) !The approx. value of PI
Rad2Deg EQUATE(57.295779513082) !Number of degrees in a radian
Deg2Rad EQUATE(0.0174532925199) !Number of radians in a degree
CODE
Angle = 45 * Deg2Rad !Translate 45 degrees to Radians
CosineAngle = COS(Angle) !Get the cosine of 45 degree angle
