The discussion revolves around calculating the angle for skiing down an incline, specifically using the inverse sine function to determine the angle from a given sine value.
Participants have provided guidance regarding the use of calculators, specifically noting the importance of ensuring the calculator is set to degrees rather than radians. There is a sense of resolution as the original poster expresses gratitude for the assistance received.
There is an assumption that the original poster may not have been aware of the calculator settings, which impacted their ability to obtain the correct angle.
make sure ur calculator is set to degree not radians or gradientselizabethR said:yea but when i do the inverse sin of .204 on my calculator i get .20544. i am not using it right?
