sin15°
--------------
sin(15) = sin(30/2)sqrt
From "Half angle formulas" on Wikipedia:

See Wikipedia Trigonometric functions to check your answer.
It's quite tedious and easy to make an error.
===========================================
cos(11𝜋/12) = cos(165)
= cos(120 + 45)
= cos(120)*cos(45) - sin(120)*sin(45)
=
=
=
