Find the value of sin 15°.
Question

Find the value of sin 15°.

A.

3+122\frac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}​​

B.

3122\frac{\sqrt3-1}{2\sqrt2}​​

C.

3+12\frac{\sqrt3+1}{\sqrt2}​​

D.

312\frac{\sqrt3-1}{\sqrt2}​​

Correct option is B

Given:

Angle = 15°

Formula Used:

sin(A - B) = sin A cos B - cos A sin B

Solution:

sin(15°) = sin(45° - 30°) = sin 45° cos 30° - cos 45° sin 30°

Substitute the known values of the trigonometric ratios:

sin 45° =12 \frac1{\sqrt2}= cos 45°​

cos 30°=32\text{cos }30° =\frac{\sqrt3}2

sin 30° = 12\frac12​​

sin(15°) =12×3212×12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{2}​​

sin(15°) =3122\frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2\sqrt{2}}​​
