sin(260)cos(20)-cos(260)sin(20)

sin (26 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) - cos (26 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

- \frac{3}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 0.86602 \dots

Solution steps

sin (26 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) - cos (26 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (24 0^{\circ})

sin (26 0^{\circ}) cos (2 0^{\circ}) - cos (26 0^{\circ}) sin (2 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Difference identity:

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

= sin (26 0^{\circ} - 2 0^{\circ})

Simplify

= sin (24 0^{\circ})

= sin (24 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

sin (24 0^{\circ})

Write

sin (24 0^{\circ})

sin (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

sin (s + t) = sin (s) cos (t) + cos (s) sin (t)

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

= sin (18 0^{\circ}) cos (6 0^{\circ}) + cos (18 0^{\circ}) sin (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

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