Theorem
- $\sin 330 \degrees = \sin \dfrac {11 \pi} 6 = -\dfrac 1 2$
where $\sin$ denotes the sine function.
Proof
| \(\ds \sin 330 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \sin {360 \degrees - 30 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\sin 30 \degrees\) | Sine of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\dfrac 1 2\) | Sine of $30 \degrees$ |
$\blacksquare$
