The acos() is an inbuilt function in Ruby which returns the inverse cosine of a number (argument) in radians. The value which is returned by the acos() function always lies between –pi to +pi.
Syntax: Math.acos(value)
Parameters: This function accepts one mandatory parameter value which specifies the value whose inverse cosine should be computed. It must lie between -1 and +1, else a domain-error is thrown.
Return Value: The function returns a numeric value between –pi and +pi. It is the counterclockwise angle which is measured in radian.
Example 1:
#Ruby program for acos() function
#Assigning values
val1 = 1 val2 = -1 val3 = 0.5 val4 = -0.7
#Prints the acos() value
puts Math. acos (val1)
puts Math. acos (val2)
puts Math. acos (val3)
puts Math. acos (val4)

Output:

Example 2:
#Ruby program for acos() function
#Assigning values
val1 = 0.8 val2 = -0.955 val3 = 0.74 val4 = -0.356
#Prints the acos() value
puts Math. acos (val1)
puts Math. acos (val2)
puts Math. acos (val3)
puts Math. acos (val4)
