how come when doing 100sin120/sin90which should equal 87 its giving me the wrong answer, how do I correctly enter this into the calculator to get the correct answer

\(\frac{100sin120}{sin90}\\ =\frac{100sin60}{1}\\ =100*\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\\ =50\sqrt3\\ \approx 86.6 \)
((100*sin(120))/sin(90)) = 86.6025403784
Perhaps you do not have your calculator set to degrees ???
