sin(60-45)

sin (6 0^{\circ} - 4 5^{\circ})

\frac{2 ( 3 - 1 )}{4}

Decimal Notation

0.25881 \dots

Solution steps

sin (6 0^{\circ} - 4 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

sin (6 0^{\circ} - 4 5^{\circ})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

sin (s - t) = sin (s) cos (t) - cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

= sin (6 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ}) - cos (6 0^{\circ}) sin (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (6 0^{\circ}) = \frac{3}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{2 ( 3 - 1 )}{4}

\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Factor out common term

\frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} (\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2})

\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 - 1}{2}

\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{2}

Apply rule

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{3 - 1}{2}

= \frac{2}{2} \cdot \frac{3 - 1}{2}

Multiply fractions:

\frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b \cdot d}

= \frac{( 3 - 1 ) 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 = 4

= \frac{2 ( 3 - 1 )}{4}

= \frac{2 ( 3 - 1 )}{4}
