It is useful for solving problems related to trigonometry and geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ASIN(number)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>number<\/strong><\/td><td>The sine of the angle you want to find. Must be between -1 and 1.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ASIN function is quite straightforward to use. You provide a value for the &#8216;number&#8217; argument, and it returns the arcsine of that number in radians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a simple example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=ASIN(0.5)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula will return the arcsine of 0.5, which is approximately 0.5236 radians or 30 degrees. It tells you that the sine of 0.5236 radians is 0.5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you have a right-angled triangle, and you know one of the non-right angles is 30 degrees, and you want to find the length of the side opposite that angle. You can use the ASIN function to calculate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, convert the angle to radians using the RADIANS function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=RADIANS(30)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will give you 0.5236 radians. Now, you can use the SIN function to find the length of the opposite side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=SIN(RADIANS(30))<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>ASIN is the inverse of this operation. It takes the value 0.5 and gives you back the angle of 30 degrees or 0.5236 radians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not familiar with the terms &#8216;radians&#8217; or &#8216;sine,&#8217; you can refer to trigonometry and geometry resources to understand these concepts better. Radians are a way to measure angles, and the sine of an angle is a trigonometric function that relates the angle to the length of the sides of a right-angled triangle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excel ASIN Function calculates the arcsine of a given number, returning an angle in radians whose sine is the specified number.
