Question

Which is greater?
sin (1856°) or sin (2006°)

✓

Answer

1856° = 5 x 360° + 56°
∴ 1856° and 56° are co-terminal angles.
Since 0° < 56° < 90°, 56° lies in the 1st quadrant.
∴ 1856° lies in the 1st quadrant,
∴ sin 1856° >0 …(i)
2006° = 5 x 360° + 206°
∴ 2006° and 206° are co-terminal angles.
Since 180° < 206° < 270°,
206° lies in the 3rd quadrant.
∴ 2006° lies in the 3rd quadrant,
∴ sin 2006° <0 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
sin 1856° is greater.
