    What you can do is to find the value of the angle first.

    Press SHIFT (or 2nd Function) and press SIN, followed by the value of sin x.

    [By the way, you must say sin x, or because sin on its own does not have any value.]

    This should show as:



    Press enter or '=' and you should get a value, that's the angle.

    Then, you know that

    So, press COS ANS to get the value of the function. This should give you 0.7911...

    Now, press to give you 1.2639... = 1.264

    Is it okay? :)
