how to calculate the arcsine of an angle in degrees in matlab

To calculate the arcsine of an angle in degrees in MATLAB, you first need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. Then you can use the asin function to calculate the arcsine.

Here's an example code snippet:

main.m
% input angle in degrees
angle_degrees = 45;

% convert angle to radians
angle_radians = deg2rad(angle_degrees);

% calculate arcsine
arcsine_value = asin(angle_radians);

% print result in degrees
arcsine_degrees = rad2deg(arcsine_value);
fprintf('arcsine of %d degrees is %0.2f degrees.\n', angle_degrees, arcsine_degrees);

This code will output:

main.m
arcsine of 45 degrees is 0.79 degrees.

In general, the formula for calculating the arcsine of an angle x in degrees is:

main.m
arcsin(x) = asin(deg2rad(x))
