Question

plz help urgent.. ,

why sin 30 = 1/2, and not sin 45 = 1/2 ?

anonymous · Answer

since sin 90 = 1, sin 0 = 0, its intuitive to think sin 45 = 1/2, why isn't it so... could you plz give a quick explanation wid practical example maybe plzzzzz

hartnn · Answer

sin function is not linear to think that its intuitive for sin 45 to be avg of sin 0 and sin 90.....seen the graph of sine function ?
