acos(cos(.3))

acos(field "Opposite" + field "Sine")

Use the acos function to find the arc cosine of a number.

The arc cosine of number is an angle whose cosine is equal to number. In other words, acos is an inverse of the cos function.

   function acosInDegrees theMagnitude
   return acos(theMagnitude) * 180 / pi

   end acosInDegrees

Parameters:

• number: A number between -1 and 1, or an expression that evaluates to such anumber.
• Returns: The acos function returns a number between zero and pi.
• The result: The result of the acos function is returned in radians. Toget this result in degrees, use the following function :.
