RADIANS Function

The RADIANS function in Excel is used to convert degrees into radians. It's particularly helpful when working with trigonometric functions in Excel, which typically require angle measurements in radians.

Syntax:

RADIANS(angle)
  • angle: The angle in degrees that you want to convert to radians.

Examples:

  1. =RADIANS(180) would return π (or approximately 3.14159), since 180 degrees is equivalent to π radians.
  2. =RADIANS(90) would return π/2 (or approximately 1.5708), as 90 degrees is equivalent to half of π in radians.

Note: If you need to convert radians back into degrees, you can use the complementary DEGREES function in Excel.
