About this calculator

sin(x) is the y-coordinate of the point on the unit circle at angle x. Range: [−1, 1]. Period 2π. Common values: sin(0°) = 0, sin(30°) = ½, sin(45°) = √2/2 ≈ 0.707, sin(60°) = √3/2 ≈ 0.866, sin(90°) = 1.

Frequently asked

For an angle in a right triangle, sin = opposite / hypotenuse. On the unit circle, sin = y-coordinate.
