How to Use the Sine and Cosine Blocks?

How do you use the sine and cosine blocks? I know they are trigonometric functions, but I don't understand them.  hmm

They look like this:

([sin v] of (10))
([cos v] of (10))

Re: How to Use the Sine and Cosine Blocks?

Well, to use these blocks, you first have to understand what Sine and Cosine are.
It is a little hard to explain here without a picture, so I suggest searching on Google "introduction to trigonometry", so you can learn more.

BTW, what grade are you in? This way I can see if you are fit to learn what this is used for.

SOME GOOD USES FOR SINE AND COSINE:
Making circular paths
making any curved paths  big_smile
PRACTICAL:

Hope this helped  wink

I'm in the 7th grade, and we are supposed to learn later in the year, but I want to  learn ASAP! xD

Yeah, I'll search introduction to trig on Google, maybe some video sites.
