Angles measured in the counterclockwise direction are positive, while those measured clockwise are negative. So, \u2212270 degrees is an angle measured 270 degrees in the clockwise direction from the positive x-axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the unit circle, one full rotation is 360 degrees. This means that angles repeat every 360 degrees. When you subtract or add multiples of 360 degrees, the sine value does not change. This idea is called <strong>periodicity<\/strong>. Therefore, we can add 360 degrees to \u2212270 degrees to find an equivalent angle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2212270 + 360 = 90 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we evaluate sine at 90 degrees. The point on the unit circle corresponding to 90 degrees lies on the positive y-axis, and its coordinates are (0, 1). The sine of an angle is the <strong>y-value<\/strong> of the point on the unit circle. Hence:sin\u2061(90\u2218)=1\\sin(90^\\circ) = 1sin(90\u2218)=1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And because we found that:sin\u2061(\u2212270\u2218)=sin\u2061(90\u2218)\\sin(-270^\\circ) = \\sin(90^\\circ)sin(\u2212270\u2218)=sin(90\u2218)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It follows that:sin\u2061(\u2212270\u2218)=1\\sin(-270^\\circ) = 1sin(\u2212270\u2218)=1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the exact value of sin(\u2212270\u00b0) is <strong>1<\/strong>. This method shows how periodicity and reference angles help simplify trigonometric expressions involving negative angles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-1035.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-238588\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sin -270 degrees.
