Question

What is the exact value of sin(5π/12)? (please give steps)​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.966053748

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sin \bigg( \frac{5\pi}{12} \bigg) \\ = \sin \bigg( \frac{5 \times 180 \degree}{12} \bigg) \\ = \sin ( 5 \times 15 \degree) \\ = \sin ( 75 \degree) \\ = \sin ( 45 \degree + 30 \degree) \\ = \sin 45 \degree \times \cos 30 \degree + \cos 45 \degree \times \sin 30 \degree \\ \\ = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} + \frac{1}{ \sqrt{2} } \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2 \sqrt{2} } + \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{3} + 1}{2 \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{1.732 + 1}{2 \times 1.414} \\ \\ = \frac{2.732}{2.828} \\ \\ = 0.966053748$
