There is no easy formula. You need to go into McLaurin's Theorem. .

Visually if you have a circle of '1' radius centred on the origin (0,0)

When that radius makes an angle of 30 degrees, with x-axis , then the height of the chord from the x-axis to the point where the radius touches the circle is 1/2 the radial length.

Hence Sine(30 degrees) = 1/2 = 0.5.

All the other angles can be found, by sweeping the radius about the x-axis for an angular value, and the chord length is the Sine value.

Sin, Cos and Tan is the formula for sine. A right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one of the angles is a right-angle. The hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is the longest side, which is the one opposite the right angle. The adjacent side is the side which is between the angle in question and the right angle.

If you are given the equation of an normal sine curve how would you determine its period?

a normal sine curve exists with the formula Asin(Bx+C)+D. The formula to derive a phase shift would be such: 2pi/B (for whatever value B exists at). Thus, for a normal sine curve (sin(x) we would get 2pi/1, and arrive at 2pi for the period.
