Question

The expression sin 57° is equal to

Answer 1

Answer:

$cos(33^{\circ})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$sin(57^{\circ})$

Required

Determine an equivalent expression

In trigonometry:

$sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)$

In $sin(57^{\circ})$

$\theta=57^{\circ}$

Substitute $57^{\circ}$ for $\theta$

in $sin(\theta)= cos(90^{\circ} - \theta)$

$sin(57^{\circ})= cos(90^{\circ} - 57^{\circ})$

$sin(57^{\circ})= cos(33^{\circ})$

Hence, the equivalent expression is: $cos(33^{\circ})$
