How to use trignometric functions in the symbolic toolbox

Hi!
I know that symbolic toolbox can evaluate the functions when the symbols are assigned their respective values however when i use the trignometric function, the evaluation comes as following rather than a number
e.g. Let J(thetha1,theta2,theta3) = sin(theta1 - theta2)/3 - cos(theta1 - theta3) - cos(theta1 - theta2) + sin(theta1 - theta3)/3;
now equating theta1,theta2 and theta3 values the answer comes out to be - cos(10) - cos(20) - sin(10)/3 - sin(20)/3
however when i type the above answer in the editor the value comes out to be 0.308. How can i solve this problem?
Thanks and regards, Muhammad Waqar Ahmed

It is not clear which of the two you consider to be the problem.
If you want a floating point resolution of the formula, use double() on the symbolic formula.
Caution: cos(10) means cosine of 10 radians, not 10 degrees.
