The value of sin 405 degrees is 0.7071067. . .. Sin 405 degrees in radians is written as sin (405° × π/180°), i.e., sin (9π/4) or sin (7.068583. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sin 405 degrees with examples.
- Sin 405°: 0.7071067. . .
- Sin 405° in fraction: 1/√2
- Sin (-405 degrees): -0.7071067. . .
- Sin 405° in radians: sin (9π/4) or sin (7.0685834 . . .)
What is the Value of Sin 405 Degrees?
The value of sin 405 degrees in decimal is 0.707106781. . .. Sin 405 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (405 degrees) in radians (7.06858 . . .).
We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 405 degrees = 405° × (π/180°) rad = 9π/4 or 7.0685 . . .
∴ sin 405° = sin(7.0685) = 1/√2 or 0.7071067. . .
Explanation:
For sin 405°, the angle 405° > 360°. Given the periodic property of the sine function, we can represent it as sin(405° mod 360°) = sin(45°). The angle 405°, coterminal to angle 45°, is located in the First Quadrant(Quadrant I).
Since sine function is positive in the 1st quadrant, thus sin 405 degrees value = 1/√2 or 0.7071067. . .
Similarly, sin 405° can also be written as, sin 405 degrees = (405° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sin 405° = sin 765° = sin 1125°, and so on.
Note: Since, sine is an odd function, the value of sin(-405°) = -sin(405°).

Sin 405 Degrees Using Unit Circle
To find the value of sin 405 degrees using the unit circle, represent 405° in the form (1 × 360°) + 45° [∵ 405°>360°] ∵ sine is a periodic function, sin 405° = sin 45°.
- Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form a 45° or 405° angle with the positive x-axis.
- The sin of 405 degrees equals the y-coordinate(0.7071) of the point of intersection (0.7071, 0.7071) of unit circle and r.
Hence the value of sin 405° = y = 0.7071 (approx)
