Frequently asked questions

What is sine?

In a right triangle, sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. More generally, it's defined for any angle using the unit circle.

What is sin(90°)?

Sine reaches its maximum value of 1 at 90° (or π/2 radians).

How do I find the angle from a sine value instead?

Use the Inverse Trigonometry Calculator, which computes arcsin (the inverse of sine).
