The sine function (sin) is a fundamental trigonometric function defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse in a right triangle. It also describes the y-coordinate of a point on the unit circle at a given angle.

Formule

In a right triangle: sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
In
opposite / hypotenuse — opposite / hypotenuse
