Hi jacks,

I haven't found a way solve this algebraically. But if you are interested about the answer it is, \(4.0194366942304562\times 10^{-14}\)

Thanks Sudhakara

I am trying to find it with the help of complex no.(like nth -roots of unity)

.

I would first like to clarify that the correct notation for angles in mathematics is degrees, not "degree" as used in the question. Moving on to the content, the provided expression is a product of sines of angles ranging from 1 degree to 89 degrees. This type of expression is commonly used in trigonometry and has various applications in mathematics and physics.

In this particular case, the values of 87 and 89 degrees are significant because they are the last two terms in the product. This means that the product is essentially the product of all the sines of odd angles from 1 degree to 89 degrees. The exact value of this product can be calculated using trigonometric identities and techniques, but it is important to note that the product becomes increasingly smaller as the number of terms increases.

In practical applications, this type of expression can be used in various mathematical and scientific calculations, such as in the study of wave interference and diffraction. It can also be used in the calculation of probabilities in statistics and in the analysis of periodic phenomena.

In conclusion, the values of 87 and 89 degrees in the given expression hold significance in the larger context of trigonometry and have practical applications in various fields of science and mathematics.
 

FAQ: Sin Values of 87 and 89 Degrees

What are the sin values of 87 and 89 degrees?

The sin value of 87 degrees is approximately 0.9986, and the sin value of 89 degrees is approximately 0.9998.

How are the sin values of 87 and 89 degrees calculated?

The sin values of any angle can be calculated by dividing the length of the side opposite the angle by the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle. In the case of 87 and 89 degrees, this can be done using trigonometric functions such as sine or by using a scientific calculator.

What is the significance of sin values in trigonometry?

The sine function is an important tool in trigonometry as it helps to determine the relationships between angles and sides in a right triangle. It is also used in many real-world applications, such as in navigation and engineering.

Are there any other ways to express the sin values of 87 and 89 degrees?

Yes, the sin values of 87 and 89 degrees can also be expressed as fractions. The sin value of 87 degrees is equivalent to 499/500, and the sin value of 89 degrees is equivalent to 999/1000.

Are there any special properties of the sin values of 87 and 89 degrees?

The sin values of 87 and 89 degrees are both very close to 1, which is the maximum value that the sine function can reach. This means that the angles 87 and 89 degrees are very close to being perpendicular to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, making them almost right angles.
