Sin (Sine)

This function takes the value of an angle in radians and returns the sine of the angle as a number between -1 and 1.

In a given right triangle containing an angle A, there are three sides: the side opposite to A, the side adjacent to A, and the side opposite to the right angle (hypotenuse). The sine of A is the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side over the hypotenuse.

To convert degrees to radians, multiply by p/180. This is a single-value function.

Sin(Argument)

Where:

Argument is a metric representing a list of values. The values are angles, in radians, for which the sine is sought. Multiplying the argument by p/180 converts an angle from degrees to radians.
