A right triangle in which one acute angle is a reference angle for a
115°
angle in standard position intersects the unit circle at
(−0.423,0.906)
. What is the approximate value of
sin115°≈

Answer:

[tex]\sin( 115 \degree) = 0.906[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general point on a unit circle is given by

[tex]x = \cos( \theta) [/tex]

[tex]y = \sin( \theta) [/tex]

where

[tex] \theta = 115 \degree[/tex]

is the terminal side of the angle in standard position.

Therefore

[tex]x = \cos( 115 \degree) [/tex]

[tex]y = \sin(115 \degree) [/tex]

lies on this circle

This angle intersects the unit circle at

[tex]( - 0.423,0.906)[/tex]

Hence we must have

[tex] \cos( 115 \degree) = - 0.463[/tex]

[tex]\sin( 115 \degree) = 0.906[/tex]
