Theorem
- $\cos 330 \degrees = \cos \dfrac {11 \pi} 6 = \dfrac {\sqrt 3} 2$
where $\cos$ denotes cosine.
Proof
| \(\ds \cos 330 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \cos {360 \degrees - 30 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \cos 30 \degrees\) | Cosine of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {\sqrt 3} 2\) | Cosine of $30 \degrees$ |
$\blacksquare$
