title: Math.sin()

slug: Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/sin

browser-compat: javascript.builtins.Math.sin

The **`Math.sin()`** static method returns the sine of a number in radians.
{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Math.sin()")}}
```js interactive-example
function getCircleY(radians, radius) {
return Math.sin(radians) * radius;
}
console.log(getCircleY(1, 10));
// Expected output: 8.414709848078965
console.log(getCircleY(2, 10));
// Expected output: 9.092974268256818
console.log(getCircleY(Math.PI, 10));
// Expected output: 1.2246467991473533e-15
```
## Syntax
```js-nolint
Math.sin(x)
```
### Parameters
- `x`
- : A number representing an angle in radians.
### Return value
The sine of `x`, between -1 and 1, inclusive. If `x` is {{jsxref("Infinity")}}, `-Infinity`, or {{jsxref("NaN")}}, returns {{jsxref("NaN")}}.
## Description
Because `sin()` is a static method of `Math`, you always use it as `Math.sin()`, rather than as a method of a `Math` object you created (`Math` is not a constructor).
## Examples
### Using Math.sin()
```js
Math.sin(-Infinity); // NaN
Math.sin(-0); // -0
Math.sin(0); // 0
Math.sin(1); // 0.8414709848078965
Math.sin(Math.PI / 2); // 1
Math.sin(Infinity); // NaN
```
