It makes sense if 3.6 is in radian.

sin(3.6°) > -0, but 3.6 by itself is considered to be in radian measure.Chadi B Ghaith said:Why is sin(3.6) NEGATIVE? Why is sin(3.6) negative? It makes no sense. It should be positive between -90 and 90 degrees.
Also,if x is between -90° and 0°, sin(x) is negative.

Because, π<3.6<3π/2 ... 3.6 radians lies in quadrant III where sine values are negative.
