$2 \sin (225)$

Step 1

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because sine is negative in the third quadrant.

$2 (- \sin (45))$

Step 2

The exact value of $\sin (45)$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ .

$2 (- \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})$

Step 3

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
