SIN

The SIN function in Google Sheets returns the sine of an angle provided in radians. It is a mathematical function used to calculate the sine value of an angle.

Function Syntax and Parameters

Syntax: SIN(angle)

Parameters:

  • angle: The angle (in radians) for which you want to calculate the sine value.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

To use the SIN function in Google Sheets, follow the steps below:

  1. In a cell, enter the angle (in radians) for which you want to calculate the sine.
  2. Use the formula =SIN(angle), replacing "angle" with the cell reference or actual value.

Use Cases and Scenarios

The SIN function can be used in various situations, such as:

  1. Trigonometry: Calculate angles and sides of triangles.
  2. Physics: Calculate waveforms and oscillations.
  3. Engineering: Solve problems related to vibrations and periodic motion.

Related Functions

There are several related functions in Google Sheets to complement the SIN function, including:

  • COS: Returns the cosine of an angle provided in radians.
  • TAN: Returns the tangent of an angle provided in radians.
  • ASIN: Returns the arcsine of a value, in radians.
  • ACOS: Returns the arccosine of a value, in radians.
  • ATAN: Returns the arctangent of a value, in radians.
