ACOS

Description

Returns the inverse cosine of a value, in radians.

Sample Usage

ACOS(0)

ACOS(A2)

ACOS(1)

Syntax

ACOS(value)

  • value - A value between -1 and 1, inclusive for which the inverse cosine is calculated.

Notes

  • The DEGREES function can be used to convert the result of ACOS into degrees.

  • Because cosine is periodic, there are multiple solutions to the inverse. ACOS returns the solution between 0 and Pi.

Step 1: To use the ACOS Formula, simply begin with your edited Excellentable:
