Not true; the expression evaluates to #–0.75#.

Explanation:

#sin 10° = 0.1736#
#sin 50° = 0.7660#
#sin 250° = –0.9397#

#sin 10° xx sin 50°"  " = "   "0.1330#
#sin 50° xx sin 250° = –0.7198#
#sin 250° xx sin 10° = –0.1632#

#=> sin 10°sin 50°+sin 50°sin 250°+sin 250°sin 10°#

#=0.1330 - 0.7198 - 0.1632#
#=–0.75#
