Excel - Microsoft Excel SIN Function

Description

The Excel SIN function calculates the sine of a given angle (which is supplied in radians). 
The format of the function is : 

SIN( number ) 

Where the number argument is the angle, in radians, that you want to calculate the sine of. 

Converting from Radians to Degrees 

If your angle is in degrees, you will need to convert it into radians before supplying it to the cos function. 

The easiest way to do this is to use the Excel Radians function: 

=RADIANS( degrees ) 

Examples of this are given below. 

Sin Function Examples
Column B of the spreadsheet below, shows examples of the Excel Sin Function, used to calculate the sine of different angles, which are in either degrees or radians. 


The formulas are shown in the spreadsheet on the left and the results are shown in the spreadsheet on the right.
