order of operations when using sin()?

Question

trying to solve this example: 10·sin(50)/sin(110)

and wolfram says its 8.15. if i enter it the same way into google calculator, it says its 59.

and my own calculator says 7.15. it also says sin of 50 is 0.7, then google says sin of 50 is -0.2.

so i have no clue. how do i even solve this?

The sin function is just returning a number so as far as order of operations, just treat sin(x) as if it’s a number (assuming x is a random value ie 50, 12, etc).

You’re most likely getting different results due to degrees vs radians.
