sin 37°, cos 53°, sin 53° Values in Fraction

In CBSE Class 10 Trigonometry, you are expected to know not just the standard 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° values, but also 37° and 53° — which appear in almost every NCERT problem because they form a classic 3-4-5 right triangle.

Question (Click to Flip)

What is the value of sin 37 degrees in fraction?

Answer

sin 37° = 3/5 (based on the 3-4-5 right triangle approximation used in NCERT).

Key Facts

sin 37° = 3/5 = 0.6.

cos 37° = 4/5 = 0.8.

sin 53° = 4/5 = 0.8.

cos 53° = 3/5 = 0.6.

Based on 3-4-5 Pythagorean right triangle.

The Values (Based on 3-4-5 Triangle)

37° and 53° are complementary angles (they add up to 90°). In a 3-4-5 right triangle:

  • The angle opposite the side of length 3 = 37° (approximately).
  • The angle opposite the side of length 4 = 53° (approximately).
FunctionValue
sin 37°3/5 = 0.6
cos 37°4/5 = 0.8
tan 37°3/4 = 0.75
sin 53°4/5 = 0.8
cos 53°3/5 = 0.6
tan 53°4/3 ≈ 1.33

The Complementary Angle Rule

Since 37° + 53° = 90°:

  • sin 37° = cos 53° = 3/5
  • cos 37° = sin 53° = 4/5 This is because sin(θ) = cos(90°−θ).

Questions and Answers

What is the value of sin 37 degrees in fraction?+

sin 37° = 3/5 (based on the 3-4-5 right triangle approximation used in NCERT).

What is sin 53 degrees?+

sin 53° = 4/5 = 0.8.

Why are sin 37 and cos 53 equal?+

Because 37° and 53° are complementary angles (sum = 90°), and sin(θ) = cos(90°−θ) by definition.
