Frequently Asked Questions
Why do degrees and radians give different answers?
They describe angles on different scales: 180° equals π radians. The input must use the scale selected in the form.
Should I round numbers before calculating?
Keep the original input precision through the calculation and round the final answer to the precision you need. Rounding an intermediate result can change later steps.
