For example, if the angle is in cell A1, you can use the formula '=RADIANS(A1)' to convert it to radians. Convert the angle from degrees to radians using the RADIANS function.To calculate the trigonometric functions in degrees, you can follow these steps: However, you can convert the angle from radians to degrees by using the RADIANS and DEGREES functions in Excel. Excel, the trigonometric functions such as SIN, COS, and TAN are calculated using radians by default.
