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.
