##### Description

> Returns the sine of an angle.

##### Syntax

> Sin(number)

> The number argument can be any valid numeric expression that expresses an angle in radians.

##### Remarks

> The Sin function takes an angle and returns the ratio of two sides of a right triangle. The ratio is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The result lies in the range -1 to 1.

> To convert degrees to radians, multiply degrees by pi/180. To convert radians to degrees, multiply radians by 180/pi.

> The following example uses the Sin function to return the sine of an angle:

> >     Dim MyAngle, MyCosecant
> >     MyAngle = 1.3                   ' Define angle in radians.
> >     MyCosecant = 1 / Sin(MyAngle)   ' Calculate cosecant.
