FAQ

What is sine?

In a right triangle, sin(θ) = opposite side ÷ hypotenuse. It ranges from -1 to 1.

What are key sine values?

sin(0°)=0, sin(30°)=0.5, sin(45°)≈0.707, sin(60°)≈0.866, sin(90°)=1.

When is sine negative?

Sine is negative for angles between 180° and 360° (third and fourth quadrants).

What's the sine wave?

Plotting sin(θ) as θ increases creates a smooth wave pattern, fundamental to physics and signal processing.
