ArcSin
Function
The Arc Sine of a number, returned in radians Math unit
 function ArcSin ( const Number : Extended ) : Extended;
Description
The ArcSin function is a mathematical function giving the value in radians of the Arc Sine of Number.
 
PI radians  = 180 degrees
Notes
The System unit supports only the following angular functions:

ArcTan
Sin
Cos
