How do I switch between degrees and radians? - Casio fx-115ES Plus Scientific Calculator

1 degrees = 0.0174532925 radians
1 radian = 57.2957795 degrees

When the angle unit is in radians
sin^-1(0.184)=0.1850543940 radians
When angle unit is in degrees
sin^-1(0.185)=10.60283581
Your calculator is calculating the functions correctly)
In the following screen captures the sine of the values is calculated with the unit specified inside the formula (degree symbol and radian symbol are inserted to show you the unit). In the last calculation the value of the sine is practically 0.184
Remember that when angle is in radians, for very small angles (less than 10 degrees), sin(x) and tan (x) are about equal to the value of the angle in radians

TWO THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW, Eli.1. Secant will NEVER return a degree measure (or even a radian measure) no matter what computer or calculator you use. The reason is because secant returns the ratio of sides (hypotenuse over adjacent), which has a range of and find its reciprocal (ie, flip the number upside down: the reciprocal of 5 is one-fifth). That's all.B. TI-84 only uses the three basic trig functions. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine. Therefore, in order to find the secant of -1.2 radians you need to be in Radian mode (see #2 above). From there, you just find the cosine of -1.2 and take that values reciprocal (ie, flip the number upside down: the reciprocal of 10 is point one) . That's all. Math lesson: 1 Radian = 180 Degrees. Therefore, 1.2 Radians is roughly one-third of pi, therefore it is roughly one-third of 180 degrees; therefore -1.2 radians would be nearly -60 degrees (a very friendly angle measure). I hope that helps If not, you should call Texas Instruments because they've got friendly people who are happy to assist anyone. Questions like this are right up their ally, advanced questions like the syntax of the poisson cumulative distribution function are not. So, you're fine. For in depth math help holler at www.THEMATHCHEETAH.comIn Short: Secant returns ratios and NOT degrees or radians. Secant is the reciprocal to cosine. Arcsecant WILL return degrees/radians. Your calculator can be set to either mode.TEXAS INSTRUMENTS >>>>> all calculators ever made.

Press SHIFT MODE then 3 for degree or 4 for radian.

You're in radians mode. The tangent of 30 radians is about -6.4.

To switch to degrees, press MODE to bring up the mode editor. Use the arrow keys to move down to the third line, highlight Degree, and press ENTER. Press 2ND [QUIT] to exit.

Press SHIFT MODE to access (SETUP)
Press 3:deg for degree OR
press 4:Rad for radian.

Press the [MODE] key to access the mode comfiguration screen .
Set angle unit to to radian (see above)
Enter angle value in Decimal degrees only, use the [2nd][ANGLE] key sequence to have access to the degree symbol. The degree symbol must imperatively appear at the end of the angle value.



Here are some examples
If you use angle values in DMS, it will not be converted to radians, but to decimal degrees.
If you omit the degree symbol there is no conversion.



A general formula is Pi radians =180 degrees

Alot of people seem to be having this problem. Angles can be measured in two units, degrees and radians. Your calculator is currently doing everything in terms of radians. I have an 84 but I'm sure the 83 is similar, go under MODE and look for Degrees and Radians and make sure you choose degrees. if you have to convert, 360[degrees] = 2* pi [radians]
(easy to remember, 360deg in a circle, 2pi radians in a circle)
Good luck

reset ur calculator. press 2nd 6 F1 3 Enter. Note that all your data will be gone

Press "2ND" "MODE" to enter the mode screen. Press down-arrow twice to get to the angular mode. Press right-arrow or left-arrow to highlight the desired angular mode, then press "ENTER" to select it. Exit the mode screen by pressing "2ND" "QUIT"
