When first learning about the
Trigonometric Ratios, you will be working in
Degree mode. The calculator will default to
Radian mode, so ....
start by setting the
calculator's MODE to
Degree!!!!
Note: If the
calculator is set in Radian
mode and you wish to find an angle in
Degrees, you can insert a
degree symbol after the number of degrees in the angle.
The degree symbol is found under

Only that one entry will be calculated in
Degrees -- all others will
remain inRadian mode.
