Math Problem Statement

Copy and complete each of the equalities below using the options given: sin 30°, sin 45°, sin 60°.

Solution

Let's solve each of the sine values using the provided options.

  1. sin 30° = 12\frac{1}{2}
  2. sin 45° = 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} or rationalized as 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
  3. sin 60° = 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Therefore, the correct assignments are:

  • a) sin 30° = 12\frac{1}{2}
  • b) sin 45° = 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
  • c) sin 60° = 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

Would you like further details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. What is the value of sin 90°?
  2. How do you derive the sine values of common angles using the unit circle?
  3. What are the cosine values for 30°, 45°, and 60°?
  4. Why is rationalizing 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} common in mathematics?
  5. How does the sine function behave for angles greater than 90°?

Tip: Knowing the sine and cosine of standard angles (30°, 45°, 60°, etc.) is fundamental in trigonometry. You can use symmetry properties of the unit circle to find values for angles outside the first quadrant.
