Setting the Angular Mode
The angular mode specifies which unit of measure to assume for angles used in
trigonometric functions. The mode does
not
convert numbers already present (see
"Conversion Functions" later in this chapter).
360 degrees = 2
π
radians = 400 grads
To set an angular mode, press
9
. A menu will be displayed from which you
can select an option.

Note
Calculations with the irrational number
π
cannot be expressed
exactly
by the 15–digit internal precision of the calculator. This is
particularly noticeable in trigonometry. For example, the
calculated sin
π
(radians) is not zero but –2.0676

, a very
small number close to zero.
