petroo, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Regarding
your comments:
>"Examples
=COS(RADIANS(60)) returns 0.5, the cosine of 60 degrees.
which will result in an error."
As per LO built-in help for the COS function:
"COS
Returns the cosine of the given angle (in radians).
Syntax
COS(Number)
Returns the (trigonometric) cosine of Number, the angle in radians.
To return the cosine of an angle in degrees, use the RADIANS function."
and the RADIANS function:
"RADIANS
Converts degrees to radians.
Syntax
RADIANS(Number)
Number is the angle in degrees to be converted to radians.
Example
=RADIANS(90) returns 1.5707963267949, which is PI/2 to Calc's accuracy."
=COS(RADIANS(60)) produces 0.5. This does not produce an error and
nothing is misleading about the results. Feel free to report any future
bugs you may find.

Title:
wrong help text
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
calculating trigonometric functions for *degrees* requires the
addition of the operator RAD.
The libreoffice help system displays respective examples for SIN, COS
etc. as
Examples
=COS(RADIANS(60)) returns 0.5, the cosine of 60 degrees.
which will result in an error. The correct version would be:
=COS(RAD(60))
Since these kind of examples are given for several functions they are
strongly misleading!
