# Value of Sin 180

In Mathematics, Trigonometry is the study of measurements of triangles that deals with the length, height and angles of the triangle. It has an enormous application in diverse fields like Science, Technology, Satellite navigations, and so on to calculate the varying measurements using cosine and sine function. In this article, the value of sin 180 degrees or the value of sin pi is discussed in detail.

## What is the Value of Sine Pi (180°)?

 Value of Sine 180 Degree (π) is 0

## How to Derive the value of sin 180 Degrees?

The value of sin 180 (sin pi) can be interpreted in terms of different angles like 0°, 90° and 270°. Assume that the unit circle in the cartesian plane is subdivided into four quadrants. And we know that the value of sin 180 degrees in the cartesian plane takes place in the second quadrant. Therefore, the value of sin pi in the second quadrant is always positive.

Derivation of Sine 180 Degrees

From the value of sin 0, we will obtain the value of sin 180.

We know that the exact value of sin 0 degree is 0.

So, Sin 180 degree is +(sin 0) which is equal to +(0)

Therefore, the value of sin 180 degrees = 0.

The value of sin pi can be derived from some other trigonometric angles and functions like sine and cosine functions from the trigonometry table.

It is known that,

180° – 0° = 180° ———– (1)

270° – 90° = 180°———— (2)

### Sine 180 Degree Derivation: Method 1

Now we can use the above expression (1) in terms of sine functions

From the supplementary angle identity,

Sin A = Sin (180° – A )

Therefore,

Sin ( 180° – A ) = Sin A

Sin ( 180° – 0° ) = Sin 0°

Sin 180° = 0 [ Since the value Sin 0° is 0]

Hence, the value of sin pi is 0

### Sine Pi Value Derivation: Method 2

From the expression (2),

Using complementary angle identity,

Sin A = cos (90°- A)

we can write the above expression as

Sin 180°= cos (90° – 180°)

Sin 180°= cos (-90°)

Now, use opposite angle identity cos(-A) = cos A

Sin 180°= cos 90°

Sin 180°= 0 [ Since the value of cos 90 degrees is 0]

Therefore, the value of sin 180 is 0.

Sin 180° = 0
