I have a problem with some basic trigonometry,
and maybe I'm looking
at this too hard. How does one work out the angle of a triangle knowing the
lengths of it's sides?
And some of the answers :
I just wanted to say that arc sine does not equal to 1/sin . AutoLISP has
arc tan function that returns the angle in radians knowing the tangent of
the angle.
The following equations can be useful :
sin a * sin a + cos a * cos b = 1
tan a = sin a / cos a
this means you can calculate tan of the angle
if you have the sin or the
cos.
The arc tan function in AutoLISP is (atan ).
It takes one or two arguments.
You can take a look at this function in the LISP help .

=========================================================
Autolisp does have an inverse tan function:
atan. And that's all you need
really.
;asin
;-1<=y<=1
;returns inverse sin in radians
(defun asin (y)
(atan y (sqrt (- 1 (* y y))))
)
;acos
;-1<=y<=1
;returns inverse cos in radians
(defun acos (y)
(atan (sqrt (- 1 (* y y))) y)
)
btw, 1/sin(x) would be sec(x) not the inverse
sine. Arc sin is indeed the
inverse of sine but the notation "sin to the power -1" is just
shorthand for
inverse sine, it does not mean literally raised to the power of minus 1;
i.e. 1/sin(x).

Try this simple one :
(defun cangle (a b c)
(setq max_val (max a b c))
(cond
