Hi jacks,

I haven't found a way solve this algebraically. But if you are interested about the answer it is, \(4.0194366942304562\times 10^{-14}\)

Thanks Sudhakara

I am trying to find it with the help of complex no.(like nth -roots of unity)

.

I would first like to clarify that the correct notation for angles in mathematics is degrees, not "degree" as used in the question. Moving on to the content, the provided expression is a product of sines of angles ranging from 1 degree to 89 degrees. This type of expression is commonly used in trigonometry and has various applications in mathematics and physics.

In this particular case, the values of 87 and 89 degrees are significant because they are the last two terms in the product. This means that the product is essentially the product of all the sines of odd angles from 1 degree to 89 degrees. The exact value of this product can be calculated using trigonometric identities and techniques, but it is important to note that the product becomes increasingly smaller as the number of terms increases.

In practical applications, this type of expression can be used in various mathematical and scientific calculations, such as in the study of wave interference and diffraction. It can also be used in the calculation of probabilities in statistics and in the analysis of periodic phenomena.

In conclusion, the values of 87 and 89 degrees in the given expression hold significance in the larger context of trigonometry and have practical applications in various fields of science and mathematics.
