    Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
    Function
    Angle (°)

    What is sin 324°?

    Answer

    sin 324° =
    −√(10 − 2√5)/4 ≈ −0.5878

    Angle in radians: 324° = 9π/5. The point of the angle is in quadrant IV, where sine is negative.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.

    sin 324° = sin(360° − 36°) = −sin 36° = −√(10 − 2√5)/4

    P(cos 324°, sin 324°) = ((√5 + 1)/4, −√(10 − 2√5)/4)

    Regular pentagon (golden ratio): cos 36° = (√5 + 1)/4.

    sin 36° = √(1 − cos² 36°) = √(10 − 2√5)/4

    xyOP

    P(cos 324°, sin 324°) ≈ (0.8090, −0.5878)

    Highlighted: the projection on the y-axis — sine, y ≈ −0.5878.

    FAQ

    What is sin 324°?

    sin 324° = −√(10 − 2√5)/4 ≈ −0.5878

    How are sin 36° and cos 54° related?

    They are equal: sin α = cos(90° − α), and 36° + 54° = 90°. So sin 36° = cos 54° = √(10 − 2√5)/4, cos 36° = sin 54° = (√5 + 1)/4, and tan 36° = cot 54° = √(5 − 2√5).

    Why does a calculator show −0.4041 for sin 324?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes sin 324 as the sine of 324 radians, sin 324 rad ≈ −0.4041. Switch it to degrees (DEG): sin 324° = −√(10 − 2√5)/4 ≈ −0.5878. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
