Table 2-16 Example using various trigonometric calculations

Keys	Display	Description
A7SG]oR	51.6839	Displays inverse cosine of 0.62.
4	17.8288	Calculates arccos 0.35 - arccos 0.62.
\5G	17.83	Return display to default format.

Pi

Pressing \;displays the value of π . Although the displayed value is appears in the current display format, the 12 digit value is actually used for calculations. π is often used during calculations in radians mode, as there are 2π radians in a circle.

Example

Find the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 4.5 centimeters. Use the formula: A = 4πr2
