Given:


\sin (310\text{\degree)}

You need to remember that in Trigonometry:

Therefore, knowing that the angle given is:


310\text{\degree}

You can identify that it is between 270 degrees and 360 degrees:


270\text{\degree}<310\text{\degree}<360\text{\degree}

Hence, it must be in Quadrant IV.

Look at the picture below:

Therefore, in this case, you can determine that:


(x,y)=(\cos (310\degree),\sin (310\text{\degree))}

Hence, the answer is: Option f.
