php sin – Find Sine of Number in Radians Using php sin() Function

January 26, 2022 Leave a Comment

To find the sine of a number (in radians), we can use the php sin() function.

sin(x)

In php, we can easily use trigonometric functions from the collection of php math functions. These php math functions allow us to perform trigonometry easily.

To find the sine of a number, in radians, we use the php sin() function.

Below is the php syntax to find the sine of a number.

sin(x)

The input to the sin() function must be a float. The return value will be a float between -1 and 1.

echo sin(pi()/3); // 0.8660254037844386
echo sin(0); // 0.0
echo sin(pi()/2); // 1.0

Converting Degrees to Radians for Input into sin()

The sin() function takes a number in radians as input. If your data is in degrees, you will need to convert the values to radians.

To convert degrees to radians, we can use the php deg2rad() function to convert the value to radians and then pass it to the sin() function.

echo sin(deg2rad(60)); // 0.8660254037844386
echo sin(deg2rad(0));  // 0.0
echo sin(deg2rad(90)); // 1.0

Finding the Inverse Sine of a Number in php

With php, we can also find the inverses of the common trigonometric functions. The asin() function allows us to find the inverse of the sine of a number.

Below, we show that if we pass a number to sin() and then call the php asin() function, we get back the same number.

echo asin(sin(pi()/3)); // 1.0471975511965976
echo pi()/3; // 1.0471975511965976

Finding the Cosecant of a Number in php

To find the cosecant of a number, we can divide 1 by the sine of the number.

We can find the cosecant of a number easily with the php sin() function. You can see how to find the cosecant of a number in the following php code.

echo 1/sin(pi()/3); // 1.1547005383792517

Hopefully this article has been beneficial for you to understand how to use the sin() function in php to find the sine of a number.
