Question #ca93b Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer P dilip_k Mar 16, 2017 Using formula #2sin^2theta=1-cos2theta# we get #sintheta=sqrt(1/2(1-cos(2xxtheta))# Putting #theta=75# #sin75=sqrt(1/2(1-cos(2xx75))# #=sqrt(1/2(1-cos(180-30))# #=sqrt(1/2(1+cos30)# #=sqrt(1/2(1+sqrt3/2)# #=sqrt(1/8(4+2sqrt3)# #=sqrt(1/(2*2^2)((sqrt3)^2+2*sqrt3*1+1^2)# #=1/(2sqrt2)sqrt((sqrt3+1)^2)# #=1/(2sqrt2)(sqrt3+1)# Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
