Assuming you haven't solved the problem (even though you marked it solved) note that the argument of the SIN function in Numbers is the angle expressed in radians. Your calculator seems to calculating the sine of an angle expressed in degrees.

If you're on the Mac I suggest going to Help > Formulas and Functions Help in your menu.

There are 15 functions in the section titled Trigonometric Functions, including SIN ATAN ATANA etc. Examples are provided for each.

If you're on the iPad you can go here.

first of all thanks for the reply!!

I have managed to know what to do when wanting to calculate such a thing, but the answers are always coming up wrong and not even going to hard things like 2xsin(45) but easy thing such as sin(45) that’s why I was thinking I was missing something, I am doing everything twice with the calculator and everything's wrong :(
