Find the Exact Value sin(55)
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the sine of an angle measured in degrees.
Determine if the angle
55 is a standard reference angle (such as0 30 45 60 or90 .Recognize that
55 is not a standard reference angle and cannot be easily expressed as a sum or difference of standard angles to produce a simple radical form.Conclude that the exact value is represented by the expression itself, as further simplification into basic radicals involves complex cubic roots via the triple angle formula or non-standard constants.
