The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 60^\circ \sin 80^\circ \), we can use a trigonometric identity that relates the product of sines to a simpler expression. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Sine Product Formula**: We can use the formula: \[ \sin A \sin B \sin C = \frac{1}{4} \left( \sin (A + B + C) + \sin (A + B - C) + \sin (A - B + C) + \sin (-A + B + C) \right) \] However, a more suitable formula for our case is: \[ \sin \theta \sin (60^\circ - \theta) \sin (60^\circ + \theta) = \frac{1}{4} \sin (3\theta) \] 2. **Set Up the Angles**: Let's set \( \theta = 20^\circ \). Then: - \( 60^\circ - \theta = 40^\circ \) - \( 60^\circ + \theta = 80^\circ \) Thus, we can rewrite the product: \[ \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 80^\circ = \frac{1}{4} \sin (3 \times 20^\circ) \] 3. **Calculate \( \sin (3 \times 20^\circ) \)**: \[ 3 \times 20^\circ = 60^\circ \] Therefore: \[ \sin (3 \times 20^\circ) = \sin 60^\circ \] 4. **Substitute \( \sin 60^\circ \)**: We know that: \[ \sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Now substituting back: \[ \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 80^\circ = \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} \] 5. **Include \( \sin 60^\circ \)**: Now we need to include \( \sin 60^\circ \) in our original product: \[ \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 60^\circ \sin 80^\circ = \left( \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 80^\circ \right) \sin 60^\circ \] Thus: \[ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3}{16} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \sin 20^\circ \sin 40^\circ \sin 60^\circ \sin 80^\circ = \frac{3}{16} \]
