The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 2\sin^2 A = \sin^2 60^\circ + \sin^2 45^\circ \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the values of \(\sin 60^\circ\) and \(\sin 45^\circ\) We know: \[ \sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] \[ \sin 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] ### Step 2: Calculate \(\sin^2 60^\circ\) and \(\sin^2 45^\circ\) Now we will square these values: \[ \sin^2 60^\circ = \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4} \] \[ \sin^2 45^\circ = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 3: Substitute these values into the equation Now we substitute these squared values back into the original equation: \[ 2\sin^2 A = \sin^2 60^\circ + \sin^2 45^\circ \] \[ 2\sin^2 A = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Find a common denominator and add the fractions To add \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\), we convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) to a fraction with a denominator of 4: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \] Now we can add: \[ 2\sin^2 A = \frac{3}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(\sin^2 A\) Now we divide both sides by 2: \[ \sin^2 A = \frac{5}{4} \div 2 = \frac{5}{8} \] ### Step 6: Find \(\sin A\) Taking the square root of both sides gives us: \[ \sin A = \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{8}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{2}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\sin A\) is: \[ \sin A = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2\sqrt{2}} \] ---
