Theorem
- $\sin 345^\circ = \sin \dfrac {23 \pi} {12} = - \dfrac {\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 2} 4$
where $\sin$ denotes the sine function.
Proof
\(\ds \sin 345^\circ\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sin \left({360^\circ - 15^\circ}\right)\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds - \sin 15^\circ\) | Sine of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds - \dfrac {\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 2} 4\) | Sine of 15 Degrees |
$\blacksquare$
