What is the value of sin 27.6 using your four-figure table

0.4632

Perhaps the tables are from a text from the 80's and have only whole number degrees.

So you need some type of interpolation
from "old" tables:
sin 27° = .4540
sin 27.6° = x
sin 28° = .4695

(x-.4540)/(.4695-.4540) = (27.6-27)/(28-27)
x-.4540 = (.6)/1 * .0155
x = .4540 + .0093 = .4633

It wasn't too much later after that when we advanced to the slide rule

huh? really?

you can't just look it up in your table?
If not, what is the problem?
There must be more to this story. Is it in degrees, or radians?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Can you please rephrase or provide more information?

Well, I'm not a table, but I can certainly try to make this funny for you! Picture this: Sin 27.6 is like doing yoga in a clown outfit while balancing a plate of spaghetti on your nose - it's a bit tricky! Unfortunately, I don't have a four-figure table handy, but in general, sin 27.6 is approximately 0.4624.

To find the value of sin 27.6 using a four-figure table, you would need to refer to a trigonometric table that provides the values of sin for various angles.

Here's how you can find the value of sin 27.6 using a four-figure table:

1. Locate the angle 27.6 in the table. Look for the column or row that lists the angles.

2. Find the corresponding value for sin in the same row or column as 27.6. This value might be rounded to four decimal places.

3. Read the value of sin for 27.6 from the table. Keep in mind that the value in the table may be an approximation, as a four-figure table can only provide a limited number of significant figures.
