About the Sin Cos Tan Calculator
The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.
Formula basis:
sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent = sin/cos
Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.
Formula & How It Works
The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata: sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent = sin/cos Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.
Worked Examples
Example 1: 45° Angle — Classic Trig Values
Inputs
With Angle = 45 and Angle Unit = degrees as the stated inputs, the result is sin = 0.70710678, cos = 0.70710678 and tan = 1. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 2: 30° Angle — Structural Load
Inputs
With Angle = 30 and Angle Unit = degrees as the stated inputs, the result is sin = 0.5, cos = 0.8660254 and tan = 0.57735027. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 3: 60° Angle — Solar Panel Tilt
Inputs
With Angle = 60 and Angle Unit = degrees as the stated inputs, the result is sin = 0.8660254, cos = 0.5 and tan = 1.73205081. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
Example 4: Radians Input — Physics Wave
Inputs
With Angle = 1.5708 and Angle Unit = radians as the stated inputs, the result is sin = 1, cos = -0.00000367 and tan = -272,241.80840928. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
