Solution

The problem in the image asks to determine the trigonometric values without using a table or calculator. Let's go through the first problem, which involves simplifying the expression for sin70sin20\sin 70^\circ \sin 20^\circ.

The steps provided in the image are based on a product-to-sum trigonometric identity:

sinAsinB=12[cos(AB)cos(A+B)]\sin A \sin B = \frac{1}{2} [\cos(A - B) - \cos(A + B)]

For A=70A = 70^\circ and B=20B = 20^\circ, applying this identity gives:

sin70sin20=12[cos(7020)cos(70+20)]\sin 70^\circ \sin 20^\circ = \frac{1}{2} [\cos(70^\circ - 20^\circ) - \cos(70^\circ + 20^\circ)] =12[cos50cos90]= \frac{1}{2} [\cos 50^\circ - \cos 90^\circ]

Since cos90=0\cos 90^\circ = 0, this simplifies to:

sin70sin20=12cos50\sin 70^\circ \sin 20^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \cos 50^\circ

Thus, the value of sin70sin20\sin 70^\circ \sin 20^\circ is:

sin70sin20=12cos50\sin 70^\circ \sin 20^\circ = \frac{1}{2} \cos 50^\circ
