The value of sin 33 degrees is 0.5446390. . .. Sin 33 degrees in radians is written as sin (33° × π/180°), i.e., sin (11π/60) or sin (0.575958. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sin 33 degrees with examples.
- Sin 33°: 0.5446390. . .
- Sin (-33 degrees): -0.5446390. . .
- Sin 33° in radians: sin (11π/60) or sin (0.5759586 . . .)
What is the Value of Sin 33 Degrees?
The value of sin 33 degrees in decimal is 0.544639035. . .. Sin 33 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (33 degrees) in radians (0.57595 . . .).
We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 33 degrees = 33° × (π/180°) rad = 11π/60 or 0.5759 . . .
∴ sin 33° = sin(0.5759) = 0.5446390. . .
Explanation:
For sin 33 degrees, the angle 33° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since sine function is positive in the first quadrant, thus sin 33° value = 0.5446390. . .
Since the sine function is a periodic function, we can represent sin 33° as, sin 33 degrees = sin(33° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sin 33° = sin 393° = sin 753°, and so on.
Note: Since, sine is an odd function, the value of sin(-33°) = -sin(33°).
Methods to Find Value of Sin 33 Degrees
The sine function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of sin 33° is given as 0.54463. . .. We can find the value of sin 33 degrees by:
