Sin 86 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is sin 86°?
Answer
sin 86° ≈
0.9976
Angle in radians: 86° = 43π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where sine is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. sin 86° can't be written with square roots: 86° is not a multiple of 3°.
P(cos 86°, sin 86°) ≈ (0.0698, 0.9976)
P(cos 86°, sin 86°) ≈ (0.0698, 0.9976)
Highlighted: the projection on the y-axis — sine, y ≈ 0.9976.

FAQ
What is sin 86°?
sin 86° ≈ 0.9976
Why does sin 86° 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°. 86° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: sin 86° ≈ 0.9976.
Why does a calculator show −0.9235 for sin 86?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes sin 86 as the sine of 86 radians, sin 86 rad ≈ −0.9235. Switch it to degrees (DEG): sin 86° ≈ 0.9976. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
