Why does my calculator answer .1564 for cos(90)?

42.3k Views Asked by At

I know that cos(90) equals zero but my calculator gives .1564. Everything else but trig functions work properly on my calculator. It may be broken or I might have pressed a button the changes the value of trig functions. Does anyone know why my calculator gives this answer?

Your calculator is in radians mode. You need to change it to degrees mode.

Edit: gradians, not radians, but in any event it is not in degrees.
