Inverse Trig Calculator

Calculate arcsin, arccos, and arctan for a real input value.

Main Calculator

arcsin and arccos are defined for inputs between -1 and 1.
Results
arcsin(x)
30.0000°
arccos(x)
60.0000°
arctan(x)
26.5651°

Validation

The input must be a finite real number. arcsin and arccos only accept values between -1 and 1 inclusive.

Worked Example

With x = 1 and degree output, arcsin = 90.0000°, arccos = 0.0000°, and arctan = 45.0000°.

Formula

arcsin(x), arccos(x), and arctan(x)
Convert to degrees when the unit is set to deg.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are arcsin and arccos sometimes undefined?

Their input domain is limited to the closed interval [-1, 1].

Can I use radians instead of degrees?

Yes. Switch the output unit to display the inverse trig values in radians.
