Angle￿Modes

displays a menu to specify the Angle mode as degrees, radians, or gradients.

displays a menu to specify the Angle unit modifier-

degress ( ), radians ( ), gradients ( ), or DMS ( ). It also lets you convert an angle to DMS Notation ( DMS).

To set the Angle mode for any part of an entry:

Select the Angle mode. Entries are interpreted and results displayed according to the Angle mode, or

Select a unit modifier ( ) for any part of an entry. Entries with unit modifiers are interpreted accordingly, overriding the Angle mode.

To convert an entry:

Set the Angle mode to the unit you want to convert to. Then use a unit modifier to designate the unit to convert from. (Angles of trigonometric functions convert values inside parentheses first.), or

Select DMS, which converts an entry to DMS ( ) Notation.

Trigonometry

Enter trigonometric functions (sin, cos, tan, sin-1, cos-1, tan-1), just as you would write them. Set the desired Angle mode before starting trigonometric calculations.
