I need to use radians but everytime I use it , it gives me the wrong answer
Hello,
To avoid problems,set your angle unit to radians by default. Press [MODE]. If Radian is highlighted (text on black background), it is indeed the default mode. If Degreee is highlighted, scroll dowm to the line and use the left arrow to select Radian and press ENTER. Radian will start blinking.
Any number you feed a function that acts on angles (sin, cos, tan) will be considered in radians. Any result that comes out of the inverse trigonometric functions (arcsin, arccos, arctan) is in radian. The angle coming from a conversion from cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates is in radian.
You have a simple way to convert the value from radians to degrees because 1 rad=180/pi. Store this value in a variable [STO->] D
180/[2nd][PI] [STO->] D
Since the last result is always stored in [Ans] all you have to do is to multiply by D: [Ans][x][ALPHA]D converts results in degrees.
Hope it helps
