Find the Exact Value sin(47 degrees )
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the sine of an angle measured in degrees.
Determine if the angle is a standard reference angle (such as
0^∘ 30^∘ 45^∘ 60^∘ or90^∘ .Recognize that
47^∘ is not a standard angle and cannot be expressed as a simple combination (sum or difference) of standard angles using integers.Conclude that the exact value of
sin(47^∘) cannot be simplified further into a basic radical form and is typically left assin(47^∘) or expressed ascos(43^∘) using the cofunction identity.
