Find the exact value of sin⁡765∘\sin 765^\circ.
Intuitive explanation

The key is recognizing that angles repeat every 360°360°, so you can always subtract full rotations to land in a familiar range. Once you reduce 765°765° to an equivalent angle between 0°0° and 360°360°, you'll get something whose sine you already know from the unit circle or special angles. Think of it as "unwrapping" the angle to find its true position.
