Sine function

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Angle B'AC = α00

In triangle AB'C,

sin(α) = B'C/AB' = y(B')/radius

Here, sin(α) = y co-ordinate of point B'

Sine function

Sine of an angle is the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

Angle B prime A C is equal to alpha degrees and to beta degrees

In triangle A B prime C, sine alpha equals ratio of the lengths B prime C to A B prime.

This is also equal to ratio of y co-ordinate of B prime to radius.

Here, sine alpha is y co-ordinate of point B prime.
