To whom it may concern:
-----------------------

In OpenOffice Calc I found incorrect values when using funktion COS();

e.g., formula: 2*PI()*R*COS(0°-90°Latitude) /360 = ...  R=6376 km
Result shall show difference in km between two meridians (longitudes)
Only COS(0) delivers correct value=1 ==> 111,2821931072 km


COS(45)= 0,5253219888 incorrect (correct = 0,707106781)

Could you be so kind to give an explanation - or what did I do wrong?

Many thanks in advance for your early reply.

Kindest regards

Michael D
