SIN Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Calculating the sine of an angle for trigonometric modeling
Understanding the SIN Formula
The SIN function in Excel computes the sine of an angle (in radians), returning a value between -1 and 1. It’s a cornerstone of trigonometry, used for wave analysis, rotations, or geometric calculations in engineering and physics.
SIN(1.5708) returns 1, as it’s π/2 radians (90°). Pair it with RADIANS for degree inputs—it’s the vertical component of an angle, essential for periodic or spatial math.
Why Use SIN?
SIN drives trigonometric work—think sound waves, pendulum motion, or triangle solving. Its oscillatory nature makes it a must for modeling anything cyclical or angular in Excel.
Example with Sample Data
| Angle (radians) | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5708 | =SIN(1.5708) | 1 |
| 0 | =SIN(0) | 0 |
| 0.5236 | =SIN(0.5236) | 0.5 |
SIN swings: π/2 is 1, 0.5236 (30°) is 0.5. It’s a trig titan.
