sin(15°) = 0.25881905, exactly (√6 − √2)/4.
sin(15°) = 0.25881905, exactly (√6 − √2)/4. The angle 15° equals π/12 radians (15 × π/180).
Exact form: (√6 − √2)/4. Decimal: 0.25881905 (rounded to 8 places).
15° lies quadrant I. Remember that sine is positive in quadrants I and II, and negative in the others, which decides the sign of the answer.
If you get a different number, the calculator is probably in RAD mode. In radians you would enter π/12 instead of 15.
