calculating trigonometric functions for *degrees* requires the addition of the operator RAD.

The libreoffice help system displays respective examples for SIN, COS etc. as

Examples
=COS(RADIANS(60)) returns 0.5, the cosine of 60 degrees.

which will result in an error. The correct version would be: =COS(RAD(60))

Since these kind of examples are given for several functions they are strongly misleading!
