You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Either switch your calculator to radians and type in (7*pi)/6 and then find te sin of that. Etc\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or convert the radians to degrees first and then find te sin etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I shall do the second method, since the first is just you using a calculator.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ALWAYS START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW: \"2%2Api\" radians is 360 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"pi+=+180\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence \"%287%2Api%29%2F6+=+%287%2F6%29%2A180\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is 210 degrees\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So sin210 is? use your calculator here. Or, if you truly understand TRIG manipulation, do it by yourself: realise that 210 degrees is in the 3rd quadrant, where sin is always -ve. The equivalent 1st quadrant angle here would be 180+x = 210 --> x is 30. So sin30 is 1/2. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer is -(1/2)...check on your calculator that this is correct :-)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You do the rest :-)\r
