This Casio calculator function allows you to compute trigonometric values such as sine, cosine, and tangent directly from the angle entered in degrees.

Understanding the Degree Function

Casio calculators provide easy access to trigonometric functions. The degree mode is essential for solving angles in real-world problems involving geometry, physics, and engineering.

Example Calculation

For an angle of 45 degrees:

  • Sine: 0.7071
  • Cosine: 0.7071
  • Tangent: 1

Why It Matters

Using the correct mode (degrees vs radians) ensures that you are calculating the correct values for real-world applications where angles are measured in degrees.

FAQs

How do I switch between degrees and radians on a Casio calculator? On Casio models, there is usually a “MODE” button to toggle between degrees and radians.

What is the difference between degrees and radians? Degrees measure angles based on 360° in a circle, while radians are based on the circle’s radius, with 2π radians making one full circle.
