Example of Use of Sine minus Sine
- $\sin 60 \degrees - \sin 40 \degrees = 2 \cos 50 \degrees \sin 10 \degrees$
Proof
| \(\ds \sin 60 \degrees - \sin 40 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 \map \cos {\dfrac { {60 \degrees} + {40 \degrees} } 2} \map \sin {\dfrac { {60 \degrees} - {40 \degrees} } 2}\) | Sine minus Sine | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 \cos 50 \degrees \sin 10 \degrees\) | evaluating |
$\blacksquare$
