COS - Returns the cosine of a value.
The COS function takes arguments in radians where,
radians = (angle * 2 * 3.1416 / 360)
Using the COS function to find the cosine of 60 degrees:
SQL> SQL> SELECT COS(60*2*3.1416/360) 2 FROM dual;-- ww w .j a va 2s . co m COS(60*2*3.1416/360) -------------------- 00000.50 SQL>
