What does the sine of an angle actually mean

The video tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding ratios in trigonometry, specifically focusing on the sine function as the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. It explains how to convert this ratio into a percentage for better conceptual understanding, using the example of 5/6 being 83%. The teacher stresses the importance of leaving answers in fractional form for quizzes, while also explaining the conceptual meaning of decimals in trigonometry. The tutorial aims to enhance students' understanding of trigonometric concepts and their practical applications.
