----------
sin(25 degrees) = sin(180-25 degrees) = sin(155 degrees)
------------
You can see this if you know something about the unit circle.
Draw the terminal side of a 25 degree angle; the y value where the line meets the unit circle is the sine.
Draw the terminal side of a 155 degree angle; the y value whee the line meets the unit circle is the sine.
You should be able to see that they are the same y value.
