Best Answer

Many calculators, as well as any modern desktop computer, will have a function to tell you the SIN to many decimal places of accuracy. There are also books with pages of trig functions, and you would look up the angle you want.

To get an approximation with pencil and paper, do this:

1. Start with a horizontal line.

2. Using a protractor, draw the angle crossing your horizontal.

3. Make a right triangle by extending a vertical line that crosses the angled line and the horizontal.

4. Measure the height of the vertical from the horizontal to the intersection with the angled line (the opposite side of the triangle from where your angle is.

5. Measure the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle).

6. Divide the opposite length by the hypotenuse length.

You use a scientific calculator or table. The sine function may be defined as the infinite series:sin(x) = x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! - x^7/7! + ... where x is the angle measured in radians, but that is not easy to calculate.

How do you find the height of a triangle without given area?

Answer the answer is Herons formula:Area=sqrt(sin(sin-a)+(sin-b)+(sin-c) where a ,b, c are the measurement of the sides.just input the measurement of the sides in the formula and you will have your answer.here you can calculate the area of a triangle with out height.
