Question
Given the following unit circle, rotate green dot to the appropriate angle and then find the exact value of the function.
Solution
The sine of 180 degrees is 0.
Here's why:
-
The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 centered at the origin (0,0) in the coordinate plane.
-
When we talk about angles in the unit circle, we usually start at the positive x-axis (the right side of the x-axis) and rotate counterclockwise. An angle of 180 degrees would bring us to the negative x-axis (the left side of the x-axis).
-
The sine of an angle in the unit circle is the y-coordinate of the point where the terminal side of the angle intersects the circle.
-
For an angle of 180 degrees, this point is (-1,0).
-
Therefore, the sine of 180 degrees is 0.
