how do I get from sin(α) to α?
Example:
sin(α) = -0.6049270855483636374
α = ?
Thanks in advance!
Use the ARCSIN function....also known/labelled as asin sometimes and sometimes as sine inverse (sin^-1)
On the web2.0 calc hit the 2nd button and sin becomes asin.....
Thanks for the quick response!
I tried the asin function on the web2.0calc, but I didn't got what I wanted.
I typed:
sin(46) and got 0.901788347649
but when I tried to reverse it back to 46 I got this:
asin(0.901788347649) equals 1.123889803847.
Am I doing it right?
On the web2.0 calculator hit the 2nd button then the 'sin' button changes to 'asin' hit that button...
then enter ' -0.6049270855483636374' and hit ' = '
NOTE : In lower left corner whether you want degrees or Radians !
The problem was indeed with the calculator setted on Rad instead of Deg...
Thank you very much for your help!
