What is sin 30°?

Answer: 1/2.

  • A 1/2
  • B √3/2
  • C 1/√2
  • D 1

Correct answer: A. 1/2

Explanation: sin 30° = 1/2. From a 30-60-90 triangle: opposite/hypotenuse = 1/2.

xy0 deg30 deg45 deg (1/sqrt2, 1/sqrt2)60 deg90 degcos45sin45

Unit circle with standard angles 0, 30, 45, 60, 90 degrees; at 45 degrees the point is (cos45, sin45) = (1/sqrt2, 1/sqrt2).
