Normally, angles are interpreted according to the Angle mode
setting. However, you can specify an angle as degrees or
radians regardless of the Angle mode.
Suppose a series of trig calculations uses radians, but a few
use degrees. Rather than change from 
Radian
 to 
Degree
 Angle
mode and then back again, you can stay in the 
Radian
 Angle
mode and specify some angles as degrees.
In 
Radian
 Angle mode, calculate sin(p/3). Then, without
changing to the 
Degree
 Angle mode, calculate sin(60¡).
1. Select 
Radian
 Angle mode.

Likewise, you can use 
r
 to specify an angle as radians in the
Degree
 Angle mode.

60 is specified as degrees
even in Radian angle mode.
