Line 174: :Let's discuss this first before editing. —[[User:Quantling\|<span class="texhtml"><i>Q</i></span>uantling]] ([[User talk:Quantling\|talk]] \| [[Special:Contributions/Quantling\|contribs]]) 20:15, 1 July 2025 (UTC) :I think of the degree sign not as a {{!tq\|unit}} but as a {{tq\|multiplicative factor}}, with the value {{math\|''π''/180}}. That is, much as {{math\|90''x''}} means {{math\|90}} times whatever value {{mvar\|x}} has, an expression like {{math\|90°}} means {{math\|90}} times {{math\|''π''/180}}, which is {{math\|''π''/2}}, and is thus converted to radians before being handed to a trigonometric function. —[[User:Quantling\|<span class="texhtml"><i>Q</i></span>uantling]] ([[User talk:Quantling\|talk]] \| [[Special:Contributions/Quantling\|contribs]]) 20:20, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
