Question 956925: I have a quiz and I missed a question on it that said what is the decimal value of sin 82? After I finish my quiz it shows me the correct answers for the ones I missed, it says the correct answer for that one was 0.22. I don't understand how they got that answer please someone help.!?

It doesn't make sense.
If the 82 is in degrees, then
sin%2882%29=0.9903
.
.
.
If the 82 is in radians, where
2%2Api=360
Then the equivalent of 82 radians in degrees would be,
82%2A%28360%2F%282pi%29%29=4698.3
and the sin of that is
sin%2882%29=0.3132
.
.
.
Either way it doesn't make sense.
Is it possible the 82 is in some funky unit.
Ask for clarification.
