Question by TheJayyBe · Nov 04, 2014 at 09:56 PM · mathanglesdegreessinecosine

Trying to obtain sine/cosine by angles giving me imprecise values

From the code:

 double senoDoAngulo=Mathf.Asin((30 * Mathf.PI) / 180);
         print ("Angle Sin: "+senoDoAngulo);


I obtain as answer: Cos Do Angle Sin: 0.551069617271423, not 0.5 as should it be, someone knows why and how to fix it? Thanks.

Don't you want $$anonymous$$athf.Sin()? Asin is for "arc-sine"

It's working well for Sine but not Cossine:

 print ("Sin "+$$anonymous$$athf.Sin(89 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));
 print ("Cossine"+$$anonymous$$athf.Cos(89 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));
 print ("Sin "+$$anonymous$$athf.Sin(90 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));
 print ("Cossine"+$$anonymous$$athf.Cos(90 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));        
 print ("Sin "+$$anonymous$$athf.Sin(91 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));
 print ("Cossine"+$$anonymous$$athf.Cos(91 * $$anonymous$$athf.PI / 180));


Sin 0.9998477 Cossine 0.01745238 Sin 1 Cossine -4.371139E-08 Sin 0.9998477 Cossine -0.01745247

Could be a problem due to float type precision. Try the .NET Math library:
