Wrong answers when using trig functions

When I try to verify equations, I find that trigonometric/circular functions such as cos and sin seem a bit wonky.
For example, using GameSalad:
cos(137) = 0.73
sin(282) = 0.98
Using a calculator, I get these results:
cos(137) = 0.33
sin(282) = -0.68
What am I missing here? Can someone verify these answer?
Should I be using angle-type numbers instead of integers?
(It's probably something simple that I overlooked.)
