Solve 1/2-frac{sqrt{3}}{2}*1

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } - \frac{ \sqrt{ 3 } }{ 2 } \times 1$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1-\sqrt{3}}{2}\approx -0.366025404$$

Solution Steps

Express 1\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{1}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1 - \sqrt{3}}{2} = -0.3660254037844386$$
