sin(150°) = 0.5, exactly 1/2.
sin(150°) = 0.5, exactly 1/2. The angle 150° equals 5π/6 radians (150 × π/180).
Exact form: 1/2. Decimal: 0.5 (rounded to 8 places).
150° lies quadrant II. Remember that sine is positive in quadrants I and II, and negative in the others, which decides the sign of the answer.
If you get a different number, the calculator is probably in RAD mode. In radians you would enter 5π/6 instead of 150.

sin(150°) = 0.5, exactly 1/2.
150° = 5π/6 radians, so sin(150°) = sin(5π/6) = 0.5.
It is most likely set to radians. Switch to degree (DEG) mode before entering the angle.
