Bug description:  sin() seems to give a wrong output if you convert it to radius

Description:
------------
I have used this function to get the angle of B in a triangle.

$B = rad2deg(  asin(10/14)   );

The output seems to be correct giving me around 45 degrees when i use the
asin() function.

But when i use the sin() function to get the length of side b in a
different triangle:

rad2deg(  SIN(45)  );

it should be giving me around 0.7 back but it gives me 48.

When i remove the rad2deg() function and use normal radius sin(45) then it
gives me the corect answer which is 0.85

Reproduce code:
---------------
$B = rad2deg(  asin(10/14)   );


rad2deg(  SIN(45)  );

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see the proper answer which is 0.7 instead of getting 48

Actual result:
--------------
As stated above my actual result is 48
