sin(117)

Solution

sin (11 7^{\circ})

Solution

\frac{2 4 + 2 5 - 5}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.89100 \dots

Solution steps

sin (11 7^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (6 3^{\circ})

sin (11 7^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

sin (x) = sin (18 0^{\circ} - x)

= sin (18 0^{\circ} - 11 7^{\circ})

Simplify

= sin (6 3^{\circ})

= sin (6 3^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{1 - cos ( 12 6 ^{\circ} )}{2}

sin (6 3^{\circ})

Write

sin (6 3^{\circ})

sin (\frac{12 6 ^{\circ}}{2})

= sin (\frac{12 6 ^{\circ}}{2})

Use the Half Angle identity:

sin (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{1 - cos ( θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Substitute

θ

with

\frac{θ}{2}

cos (θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2})

Switch sides

2 sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = 1 - cos (θ)

Divide both sides by

2

sin^{2} (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 - cos ( θ ) )}{2}

Square root both sides

Choose the root sign according to the quadrant of

\frac{θ}{2}

range [0, 9 0^{\circ}] [9 0^{\circ}, 18 0^{\circ}] [18 0^{\circ}, 27 0^{\circ}] [27 0^{\circ}, 36 0^{\circ}] quadrant I II III I V sin positive positive negative negative cos positive negative negative positive

sin (\frac{θ}{2}) = \frac{( 1 - cos ( θ ) )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 12 6 ^{\circ} )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 12 6 ^{\circ} )}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (12 6^{\circ}) = - \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

cos (12 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

- sin (3 6^{\circ})

cos (12 6^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

cos (x) = sin (9 0^{\circ} - x)

= sin (9 0^{\circ} - 12 6^{\circ})

Simplify

= sin (- 3 6^{\circ})

Use the following property:

sin (- x) = - sin (x)

sin (- 3 6^{\circ}) = - sin (3 6^{\circ})

= - sin (3 6^{\circ})

= - sin (3 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

sin (3 6^{\circ})

Show that:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following product to sum identity:

2 sin (x) cos (y) = sin (x + y) - sin (x - y)

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 2 sin (3 6^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) sin (3 6^{\circ}) = 4 sin (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

sin (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ})

cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

cos (1 8^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

cos (1 8^{\circ})

1 = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Substitute

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

sin (5 4^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

\frac{1}{2} = cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}

Use the factorization rule:

a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)

a = cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = ((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) + (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))) ((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})))

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = 2 (2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}))

Show that:

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 2 sin (3 6^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) sin (3 6^{\circ}) = 4 sin (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

sin (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin (x) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ})

cos (9 0^{\circ} - 7 2^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

cos (1 8^{\circ}) = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

cos (1 8^{\circ})

1 = 4 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

2

\frac{1}{2} = 2 sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

Substitute

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = 1

Substitute

cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - (\frac{1}{2})^{2} = 1

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} = 1

Add

\frac{1}{4}

to both sides

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = 1 + \frac{1}{4}

Refine

(cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}))^{2} = \frac{5}{4}

Take the square root of both sides

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \pm \frac{5}{4}

cos (3 6^{\circ})

cannot be negative

sin (1 8^{\circ})

cannot be negative

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{4}

Add the following equations

cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{5}{2}

((cos (3 6^{\circ}) + sin (1 8^{\circ})) + (cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}))) = (\frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2})

Refine

cos (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

Square both sides

(cos (3 6^{\circ}))^{2} = (\frac{5 + 1}{4})^{2}

Use the following identity:

sin^{2} (x) = 1 - cos^{2} (x)

sin^{2} (3 6^{\circ}) = 1 - cos^{2} (3 6^{\circ})

Substitute

cos (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

sin^{2} (3 6^{\circ}) = 1 - (\frac{5 + 1}{4})^{2}

Refine

sin^{2} (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 - 5}{8}

Take the square root of both sides

sin (3 6^{\circ}) = \pm \frac{5 - 5}{8}

sin (3 6^{\circ})

cannot be negative

sin (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 - 5}{8}

Refine

sin (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

= \frac{\frac{5 - 5}{2}}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

= - \frac{2 5 - 5}{4}

= \frac{1 - ( - \frac{2 5 - 5}{4} )}{2}

Simplify

\frac{1 - ( - \frac{2 5 - 5}{4} )}{2} : \frac{2 4 + 2 5 - 5}{4}

\frac{1 - ( - \frac{2 5 - 5}{4} )}{2}

Apply rule

- (- a) = a
