"Trig functions take an angle and return a percentage.
means a 30-degree angle is 50% of the max height."

I do not understand the thought process behind this. I thought that the maximum sine in one quadrant is 90?

Can someone explain this to me please? Thanks

Trig functions take an angle and return a percentage.
means a 30-degree angle is 50% of the max height.

Why is this the case? I thought in one quadrant the maximum sine is 90, but here it seems the max is 60? I do not understand the thought process behind this and how to calculate it.

Can someone help please?

Kalid, Your dome analogy was definitely helpful at least to visualize how moving back and forth from the center will increase/decrease the sine. However, I could not fully connect the ideas back to the sine and cos - and I found a great video which answered my questions - I wish you and the creator of that video work together to update this post to combine both of your unique insights.

Can you make an animation ? I'm having trouble visualizing this dome and wall thing. you've got us used to clearer examples than this.
