How do you use the half angle formula to find #sin (pi/12)#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Half-Angle Identities 1 Answer Nghi N. May 16, 2015 Use the trig identity: #(1 - 2sin^2 a) = cos 2a # #2sin^2 (pi/12) = 1 - cos (pi/6) = 1 - (sqr3)/2 = 0.133# #sin^2 (pi/12) = 0.067# -># sin (pi/12) = 0.26.# Answer link Related questions What is the Half-Angle Identities?
