If 1 degree radians, then the approximate value of degrees is

If 1 degree \( =0.017 \) radians, then the approximate value of \( \sin 46 \) degrees is

  • A. 0 .7194
  • B. \( \frac{0.017}{\sqrt{2}} \)
  • C. \( \frac{1.017}{\sqrt{2}} \)
  • D. none of these

Step-by-step solution

Using linear approximation: sin(46°) = sin(45°+1°) ≈ sin45° + cos45° * (1° in radians) = 1/√2 + (1/√2)*0.017 = 1.017/√2.
