rArcCosine(cosine)

 

 

Parameters

cosine

The cosine in radians (rSine()) of an angle. This value must be between -1 and 1.

 

 

Return Value

The arccosine in radians.

 

 

Examples

rArcCosine(rCosine(radians))

 

 

Comments

This function expects a cosine in radians. Passing a cosine in degrees gives an incorrect result.
