Trigonometric value

Sin(0°) = 0

Sine — the y-coordinate of the corresponding unit-circle point, or opposite/hypotenuse in a right triangle.

How to derive sin(0°)

sin(0°)=0sin(0°) = 0

At 0° the terminal side lies along the positive x-axis. On the unit circle this point is (1, 0); since sine is the y-coordinate, sin(0°) = 0.

Unit-circle context

The angle 0° corresponds to 0 radians and sits on an axis on the unit circle.
