Evaluate $\sin(\frac{19\pi}{12})$
1 Answer
\[\sin^2 (\frac{19\pi}{12})=\frac{1-\cos 2(\frac{19\pi}{2})}{2}=\frac{1-\cos \frac{38 \pi}{2}}{2}=\frac{1-\cos (\frac{2\pi}{12})}{2}\]
\[=\frac{1-\cos (\frac{\pi}{6})}{2}=\frac{1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{2}=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4}.\]
Since $0< \frac{19\pi}{12} < \pi $, $\sin (\frac{19\pi}{12})>0$. Hence
\[\sin (\frac{19\pi}{12})=\sqrt{\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{4}}.\]
