Math Problem Statement
Emily is preparing for an upcoming event where she will be using props designed by someone else. She needs to find the exact calculations for an angle that has been given in radians so that she can ensure that the props are set up correctly. The angle in question is π3 radians. Emily specifically needs to know the exact value of the sine of this angle.
Find the exact value of sin(π3) .
Solution
To find the exact value of , we can use the standard values from the unit circle.
Step-by-step:
The angle radians corresponds to in degrees.
From the unit circle, the sine of (or radians) is:
Conclusion:
The exact value of is .
