ACOS
Finds the arccosine of an angle
Syntax:
Usage:
result = Acos( number )
Parameters:
number
A cosine value in the range [-1..1].
Return Value:
The arccosine of number in radians, in the range [0..Pi].
Description:
Acos returns the arccosine of the argument
number as a
Double within the range of 0 to
Pi. The arccosine is the inverse of the
Cos function. The returned angle is measured in
radians (not
degrees).
Examples:
Dim h As Double
Dim a As Double
Input "Please enter the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle: ", h
Input "Please enter the length of the adjacent side of the triangle: ", a
Print ""
Print "The angle between the sides is"; Acos ( a / h )
Sleep
The output would look like:
Please enter the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle: 5
Please enter the length of the adjacent side of the triangle: 4
The angle between the sides is 0.6435011087932843
