You should really pick 1 question and in the appropriate group.
However I will attempt to answer.


You reply to your question on Degrees in Excel
http://www.techonthenet.com/excel/formulas/degrees.php
http://www.ehow.com/how_2190580_use-...-function.html


That is irrational, to some degree (just a pun).

I imagine that the method you linked to above is pretty painful to the
OP, even though by using it he wouldn't have to remember 57.295...

Reminds me of the lady who gave a listener opinion on the local public
radio station when it was being proposed to add an area code overlay.
She referred, with some asperity, to the fact that having to dial ten
digits every time she made a phone call was "Dreadful".

Excel does sine, cosine , and tangent for radians and not degrees. This
is crapola


More like you being a typical id*ot American who knows all about
celebrities and commercials, and how to default on mortgages, but nothing
of serious math.
What you learn in 10th grade, I learned in 7th grade.

Many and increasingnly American engineers are either foreign born or just
"not from here".
Once upon a time there was a great nation, now we have people like you.

Let me educate you:
Radians is an SI unit for 2-dimensional angular measurement.
2*pi radians is the full circle i.e. 360*.

If you can't deduce degrees from radians by using statement I just gave
you 9above), then ask someone who knows math todo it for you.
