What is the Value of Sin 3pi/4?
The value of sin 3pi/4 in decimal is 0.707106781. . .. Sin 3pi/4 can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (3pi/4) in degrees (135°).
We know, using radian to degree conversion, θ in degrees = θ in radians × (180°/pi)
⇒ 3pi/4 radians = 3pi/4 × (180°/pi) = 135° or 135 degrees
∴ sin 3pi/4 = sin 3π/4 = sin(135°) = 1/√2 or 0.7071067. . .
Explanation:
For sin 3pi/4, the angle 3pi/4 lies between pi/2 and pi (Second Quadrant). Since sine function is positive in the second quadrant, thus sin 3pi/4 value = 1/√2 or 0.7071067. . .
Since the sine function is a periodic function, we can represent sin 3pi/4 as, sin 3pi/4 = sin(3pi/4 + n × 2pi), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sin 3pi/4 = sin 11pi/4 = sin 19pi/4 , and so on.
Note: Since, sine is an odd function, the value of sin(-3pi/4) = -sin(3pi/4).
