Áp dụng công thức cộng, ta có:
\(\begin{array}{l}\sin \frac{\pi }{{12}} = \sin \left( {\frac{\pi }{4} - \frac{\pi }{6}} \right) = \sin \frac{\pi }{4}.\cos \frac{\pi }{6} - \cos \frac{\pi }{4}.\sin \frac{\pi }{6}\\ = \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{2}.\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} - \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{2}.\frac{1}{2} = \frac{{\sqrt 6 - \sqrt 2 }}{4}\end{array}\)
