value |
The value you want the arc cosine of. |
Notes
The ACos function returns the angle (in radians) of the cosine passed to it. To convert the result from radians to degrees, multiply it by 180/Pi.
Sample code
This example uses the ACos function to return the arc cosine of a number.
Var d As Double
Const Pi = 3.14159265
d = ACos(0.5) ' returns 1.0471976
d = ACos(0.5) * 180 / Pi ' returns 60
