Find sin 150

You may find sin 150 by 2 ways:

First way. Trig Table gives --> sin 150 deg, or #sin ((5pi)/6)#, = 1/2
Second way: by the trig unit circle.

#sin ((5pi)/6) = sin (pi/6) = 1/2#

#sin(150^@) = 1/2#

#sin(150^@) = sin(180^@-30^@) = sin 30^@#

because #sin# is positive in the 2nd quadrant, so

#sin 30^@ = 1/2#
