cos(arcsin(1/2))
Let's evaluate: cos(arcsin(12))
ⓘ acos, asin and atan give the angle whose cosine, sine or tangent is the number, here a remarkable value: arcsin(12) = π6
cos(π6)
ⓘ The cosine is the x-coordinate (horizontal axis) of the point reached on the unit circle after a rotation of π6 radians from the horizontal axis pointing to the right, this is a remarkable value: cos(π6) = 32
▶Result:   32
The numeric value of: 32 equals:
≈ 1.73212
▷ ≈ 0.8660
