It can. The sine function is defined for all numbers--negative, 0, and positive. The function is periodic and repeats every 360 degrees.

tangent will always be larger because its denominator is smaller than sine's.
The sine function is used in trigonometric calculations when attempting to find missing side lengths of a right triangle. The sine of an angle in a triangle is equal to the length of the side opposite of that angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Using this fact you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse if you know an angle measure and the length of one leg of the triangle. You can also calculate the length of a leg of the triangle if you know an angle measure and the length of the hypotenuse.
the sine of an angle can't be greater than 1.0
The formula is a/sinA=b/sinB=c/sinC. The idea behind the equation is that the larger an angle is the larger the side across from it will be and the smaller the angle the smaller the side across from it will be.
It is 1.
