Inverse Trigonometric Calculator

The Inverse Trigonometric Calculator finds the angle whose sine, cosine, or tangent equals a given value, in both degrees and radians. Choose the function and enter the value.

Formula

θ = arcsin(x), arccos(x) or arctan(x)
  • arcsin and arccos require inputs between −1 and 1.
  • Results are the principal values within each function's standard range.

arcsin(0.5)

Inputs
  • Function: asin
  • Value: 0.5

arcsin(0.5) = 30° = 0.5236 radians.
