```{admonition} How does it work?
:class: dropdown
This function use the Bhaskara approximation which tell us that
$$
\sin(x) \approx \frac{4x(180-x)}{40500-x(180-x)} \quad \forall x \in [0, 180]
$$
From this relation, and using the properties
- $\sin(-x) = -\sin(x)$ (antisymetry)
- $\sin(x+360) = \sin(x)$ (periodicity)
We can compute the sine of any angle.
