The scientific calculator can express angles in degrees, radians
and gradients (360 degrees = 2π radians = 400 gradients). The
angle units you use will affect the outcome of trigonometric
calculations.
• To change the angle format: select the Formats
command from the Tools menu. Select the format you
require.
You can also change the angle format by tapping on the
abbreviation in the calculation line (e.g. DEG). If the result of a
trigonometric calculation is being displayed when you do this, the
result will automatically be re-evaluated.
