The RADIANS function converts an angle in sexagesimal degrees to its equivalent in radians.
Syntax
RADIANS(
<value>
)
Parameters
- value: Angle in sexagesimal degrees to convert to radians.
Returned value
The RADIANS function returns a real number.
Additional Information
In a complete circle there are 2*PI radians and 360 sexagesimal degrees, so a sexagesimal degree equals 2*PI/360 radians (approximately 0.0174 radians). Similarly, a radian equals 360/(2*PI) sexagesimal degrees (approximately 57.2957 sexagesimal degrees).
Examples
This example converts various angles expressed in sexagesimal degrees to their radian equivalents using the RADIANS function:
