ASIN

The ASIN function in Google Sheets returns the inverse sine of a value, in radians. This function is useful for calculating the arcsine of a number.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: ASIN(value)

Parameters:

  • value: The number for which to calculate the inverse sine.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

To use the ASIN function in Google Sheets, follow these steps:

  1. Write the formula =ASIN(value) in a cell, where value is the number for which you want to calculate the inverse sine. For example, if you want to calculate the inverse sine of 0.5, enter =ASIN(0.5).
  2. Press Enter to get the result.

Use Cases and Scenarios

The ASIN function can be applied in various scenarios, such as:

  1. Trigonometry: The ASIN function is commonly used in trigonometry to find the angle whose sine equals a given value.
  2. Physics: In physics, the ASIN function can be used to calculate the angle of incidence or the angle of reflection in various situations.
  3. Engineering: The ASIN function is useful in engineering calculations involving angles and trigonometric functions.
