Question

Prove that sin20 sin40 sin60 sin80 = 3/16

Answer 1

Answer:

Please make me brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

since,sin60=√ 3/2

=> √ 3/2( sin20sin40sin80)

=> √ 3/2( sin20sin80sin40)

=>√ 3/4 [(2sin20sin40)sin80]

on applying [cos(A-B)-cos(A+B) = 2sinAsinB]

we get,

=> √ 3/4 (cos20-cos60)sin80 [since,cos(-a)=cosa]

=> √ 3/4(cos20sin80-cos60sin80)

=> √ 3/8(2sin80cos20-sin80)

=> √ 3/8(sin100+sin60-sin80)

=> √ 3/8( √ 3/2+sin100-sin80 )

=> √ 3/8( √ 3/2+sin(180-80)-sin80 )

=> √ 3/8( √ 3/2+sin80-sin80 ) [since,sin(180-a)=sina]

=> √ 3/8( √ 3/2)

=> 3/16
