Using a calculator, determine the percent error in the approximation (sin theta approx theta) for polar angles

Question:

Using a calculator, determine the percent error in the approximation \(\sin \theta \approx \theta\) for polar angles of \(1^{\circ}, 5^{\circ}\), \(10^{\circ}\), and \(20^{\circ}\). (For this "small-angle" approximation, \(\theta\) must be expressed in radians.)
