Sine derives from Latin 'sinus' - curve, so put that up your nose!
Unless you have a cockpit readout that gives you exact crosswind, how will your management prove otherwise? Your company limits are more conservative than the manufacturers demonstrated limits. Use your calculation as a guide only; in strong crosswinds the strength will fluctuate anyway.
