Win4lif3 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Okay so heres my little script: The 30 is the angle of my triangle, and 10 is the hyponuse $mod = (10*aSin(30)) MsgBox(0,"",$mod) what i want it to do is calculate it and then write the answer in a msgbox but it dosent seem to work :/ the output is: "-1.#IND" Edited April 11, 2012 by Win4lif3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4lif3 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 arcSine does not equal Sine. please explain in newb at maths, im just trying to make this so i can get better :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Your script is using ArcSine, and not Sine to calculate this. Plus, the Sin() function only works with radians, you'd need to convert this to degrees later to get the correct results. Open the help file to Sin() and look at the example posted there.

Win4lif3 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 arcSine does not equal Sine.Maybe if i ask in a another way, normally i would take my calculator and type in 10*sin(30) the output would be 5.But! how do i get the same output in the msgbox? should i use another function or something please help.

Win4lif3 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) $pi = 3.14159265358979 $degToRad = $pi / 180 $y = 10*Sin(30 * $degToRad) ;sine of 30° with hyp as 10 MsgBox(0,"",$y) This is what i got to, please let me know if i did it right, since i get the correct output wich is 5 Edited April 11, 2012 by Win4lif3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looks right to me, but then I know nothing about Sine and its ilk as far as math goes, I'm just going by what the calculator says and the script output is.

Okay thanks for your help, now im going to develop my triangle solver and im going to make it "print" the calculation somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
