    What is sin 140°?

    Answer

    sin 140° ≈
    0.6428

    Angle in radians: 140° = 7π/9. The point of the angle is in quadrant II, where sine is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. sin 140° can't be written with square roots: 140° is not a multiple of 3°.

    sin 140° = sin(180° − 40°) = sin 40° ≈ 0.6428

    P(cos 140°, sin 140°) ≈ (−0.7660, 0.6428)

    P(cos 140°, sin 140°) ≈ (−0.7660, 0.6428)

    Highlighted: the projection on the y-axis — sine, y ≈ 0.6428.

    FAQ

    What is sin 140°?

    sin 140° ≈ 0.6428

    Why does sin 140° have no exact value?

    A trigonometric value of a whole number of degrees can be written with square roots only when the angle is a multiple of 3°. 140° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: sin 140° ≈ 0.6428.

    Why does a calculator show 0.9802 for sin 140?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes sin 140 as the sine of 140 radians, sin 140 rad ≈ 0.9802. Switch it to degrees (DEG): sin 140° ≈ 0.6428. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
