How do you simplify #sin(pi/3)#?

Answer 1

Samantha Abate

#color(red)(sin (pi / 3) = sin 60 = sqrt3 / 2 = 0.866#

To find value of #sin (pi/3)#

#sin (pi/3) = sin 60^@#

From the table above,

#color(red)(sin (pi / 3) = sin 60 = sqrt3 / 2 = 0.866#

It's a special right triangle having angles 30, 60 & 90.

The sides will be in the ratio #1 : sqrt3 : 2# as seen from the below triangle.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
