use the calculator to find the trigonometric values. express your answers in ten-thousandths.
sin 53 degrees 30 ft
On your calculator press sin then input 53 there should be a button above DATA that has degree symbol etc.. press the degree symbol. don't close parenthesis and enter 30, press the same button and move over to the ' symbol...enter it close parenthesis and you should get 0.8038 or .8039 rounded
To find the trigonometric values, specifically the sine of 53 degrees 30 minutes, you need to use a scientific calculator.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Turn on your scientific calculator.
2. Make sure the calculator is in Degree mode. Most calculators have a button labeled "deg" or "DEG" to toggle between Degree and Radian mode. Press the appropriate button to select Degree mode.
3. Locate the sine function on your calculator. It is usually denoted as either "sin" or "SIN" and may be written above a specific key or on a secondary function set.
4. Enter the angle value of 53 degrees 30 minutes in the calculator. To do this, type "53", then look for the button that represents degrees (usually denoted as the small circle "°" or "deg"), and press it. Then, type "30" for 30 minutes.
5. Finally, press the sine function key to calculate the sine of 53 degrees 30 minutes.
The calculator will display the result as a decimal. To express the answer in ten-thousandths, you can round the result to four decimal places. For example, if the calculator shows the result as 0.7967, the answer, expressed in ten-thousandths, would be 0.7967.
Keep in mind that different calculators might have slight variations in button locations and labeling. However, the general steps should help you find the sine of the given angle using your calculator.
