Sin 56 Degrees

The value of sin 56 degrees is 0.8290375. . .. Sin 56 degrees in radians is written as sin (56° × π/180°), i.e., sin (14π/45) or sin (0.977384. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sin 56 degrees with examples.

• Sin 56°: 0.8290375. . .
• Sin (-56 degrees): -0.8290375. . .
• Sin 56° in radians: sin (14π/45) or sin (0.9773843 . . .)

What is the Value of Sin 56 Degrees?

The value of sin 56 degrees in decimal is 0.829037572. . .. Sin 56 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (56 degrees) in radians (0.97738 . . .).

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 56 degrees = 56° × (π/180°) rad = 14π/45 or 0.9773 . . .
∴ sin 56° = sin(0.9773) = 0.8290375. . .

Explanation:

For sin 56 degrees, the angle 56° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since sine function is positive in the first quadrant, thus sin 56° value = 0.8290375. . .
Since the sine function is a periodic function, we can represent sin 56° as, sin 56 degrees = sin(56° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sin 56° = sin 416° = sin 776°, and so on.
Note: Since, sine is an odd function, the value of sin(-56°) = -sin(56°).

Sin 56° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the sin 56 degrees as:

• ± √(1-cos²(56°))
• ± tan 56°/√(1 + tan²(56°))
• ± 1/√(1 + cot²(56°))
• ± √(sec²(56°) - 1)/sec 56°
• 1/cosec 56°

Note: Since 56° lies in the 1st Quadrant, the final value of sin 56° will be positive.

We can use trigonometric identities to represent sin 56° as,

• sin(180° - 56°) = sin 124°
• -sin(180° + 56°) = -sin 236°
• cos(90° - 56°) = cos 34°
• -cos(90° + 56°) = -cos 146°

Sin 56 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of sin 56 degrees using the unit circle:

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form a 56° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The sin of 56 degrees equals the y-coordinate(0.829) of the point of intersection (0.5592, 0.829) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of sin 56° = y = 0.829 (approx)
