Answer

Therefore, the value of sin(330)=sin(116π)=1/2.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we convert the angle from degrees to radians. Since 360=2π radians, we can say that 330=3303602π=116π radians.

Step 2 :Next, we locate this angle on the unit circle. The angle 116π radians corresponds to the point (3/2,1/2) on the unit circle. The y-coordinate of this point gives us the value of sin(116π).

Step 3 :Therefore, the value of sin(330)=sin(116π)=1/2.
