Answer

$$\sin \frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{1}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{6}} \right) \cr & {\text{convert }}\frac{\pi }{6}{\text{radians to degrees}} \cr & \frac{\pi }{6}{\text{radians}} = \frac{\pi }{6}\left( {\frac{{{{180}^ \circ }}}{\pi }} \right) \cr & \frac{\pi }{6}{\text{radians}} = {30^ \circ } \cr & \sin \frac{\pi }{6} = \sin {30^ \circ } \cr & {\text{using the }}{30^ \circ }{\text{ - 6}}{{\text{0}}^ \circ }{\text{ - 9}}{{\text{0}}^ \circ }{\text{ triangle to obtain}} \cr & \sin {30^ \circ } = \frac{{{\text{opposite side to the 3}}{{\text{0}}^ \circ }}}{{{\text{hyppotenuse}}}} \cr & \sin {30^ \circ } = \frac{1}{2} \cr & and \cr & \sin \frac{\pi }{6} = \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
