Question

Find the value of Sin 18​

Answer 1

Answer:

In mathematics, the approximate value of sin of angle 18 degrees is considered as 0.30902 .

Answer 2

Answer:

Let A = 18°                          

Therefore, 5A = 90°

⇒ 2A + 3A = 90˚

⇒ 2θ = 90˚ - 3A

Taking sine on both sides, we get

sin 2A = sin (90˚ - 3A) = cos 3A

⇒ 2 sin A cos A = 4 cos^3 A - 3 cos A

⇒ 2 sin A cos A - 4 cos^3A + 3 cos A = 0

⇒ cos A (2 sin A - 4 cos^2 A + 3) = 0  

Dividing both sides by cos A = cos 18˚ ≠ 0, we get

⇒ 2 sin θ - 4 (1 - sin^2 A) + 3 = 0

⇒ 4 sin^2 A + 2 sin A - 1 = 0, which is a quadratic in sin A

Therefore, sin θ = −2+√−4(4)(−1)/2(4)

⇒ sin θ = −2+√4+16/8

⇒ sin θ = −2+2√5/8

⇒ sin θ = −1+√5/4

Now sin 18° is positive, as 18° lies in first quadrant.

Therefore, sin 18° = sin A = −1+√5/4
