Question

what is the meaning of sin 600?​

Answer 1

Given :

sin 600°

To find :

Value of sin 600°

Solution :

Remove full rotations of 360° until the angle is between 0° and 360°.

So, 600° - 360° = 240°

Now, sin 240°

Now, calculate the equivalent trigonometric value in the first quadrant from the reference angle obtained in the first step. Put a - sign because sine is negative in the third quadrant.

-sin 60

Value of sin 60° = √3 / 2

So, -sin 60 = -√3 / 2

So, sin 600° = -√3 / 2

sin 600° = -0.866025404

Therefore, sin 600° = -√3 / 2.
