Sin(number)

|
number |
A numeric expression containing a number representing the size of an angle in radians |
Returns
The sine of number. Usage
The return value is between -1 and 1. The return value is single precision if the angle is an integer, currency, or single-precision value; double precision for a long, variant, or double-precision value. The angle is specified in radians and can be either positive or negative. To convert degrees to radians, multiply by (PI/180). The value of PI is 3.14159. Example
This example finds the height of a building, given the length of the roof and the roof pitch. Sub Button_Click Dim height, rooflength, pitch, msgtext As String Const PI = 3.14159 Const conversion = PI/180 pitch = 35 pitch = pitch * conversion rooflength = 75 height = Sin(pitch) * rooflength msgtext = "The height of the building is " msgtext = msgtext & Format(height, "##.##") & " feet." End Sub
