There are a number of different ways, depending on (a) the circumstances and (b) your mathematical sophistication.
The answer for a school student is likely to be based on a right angled triangle. At that level of knowledge, the sine of one of the acute angles is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
On the other hand, the answer from a pure mathematician may well be
sin(x) = x - x3/3! + x5/5! - x7/7! + ... where x is the angle measured in radians.

sine and cosine
How do you find the the sine of -900 degrees?
Divide -900 by 360, and the remainder will be the angle you need to find the sine of: -900 / 360 = -2.5 --> -900 = 360*(-2 - 0.5), so sine(-180°) = sine(-900°). sine(-180°) = 0
What ratio do you use to find the sine of an angle in a right triangle?
Sine ratio = opposite/hypotenuse
How do you find the max and min of sine cosine functions?
The maximum of the sine and cosine functions is +1, and the minimum is -1.
How do you find the sine of an angle?
sine[theta]=opposite/hypotenuse=square root of (1-[cos[theta]]^2)
