Math Problem Statement

sin(150)

Solution

The value of sin(150)\sin(150^\circ) can be found using the reference angle and the unit circle.

sin(150)=sin(18030)=sin(30)\sin(150^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 30^\circ) = \sin(30^\circ)

Since 150150^\circ is in the second quadrant, where sine is positive:

sin(150)=sin(30)=12\sin(150^\circ) = \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}

So, sin(150)=12\sin(150^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}.
