Theorem

The Golden Ratio can be given by the following formula:

$\phi = -2 \sin 666 \degrees = 1.61803 \, 39887 \, 5 \ldots$


Proof

\(\ds -2 \sin 666 \degrees\) \(=\) \(\ds -2 \sin 306 \degrees\) Sine of Angle plus Full Angle
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2 \sin 54 \degrees\) Sine of Conjugate Angle
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2 \cos 36 \degrees\) Sine of Complement equals Cosine
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds 2 \times \frac \phi 2\) Cosine of $36 \degrees$
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \phi\)

$\blacksquare$
