Step-by-step explanation:

If you know, the sine. You must find the cos ratio, using the Pythagorean trig theorem.

Next, you use the half angle identity for sin

\sin( \frac{ \alpha }{2} )  =  \sqrt{ \frac{1   -  \cos(a) }{2} }

Example.

\sin( \alpha )  =  \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2}

We must find

\sin( \frac{ \alpha }{2} )

First, use the Pythagorean identity

\sin {}^{2} ( \alpha )  +  \cos {}^{2} ( \alpha )  = 1

( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{2} ) {}^{2}  +  \cos {}^{2} (a)  = 1

\frac{3}{4}  +  \cos {}^{2} (a)  = 1

\cos {}^{2} (a)  =   \frac{1}{4}

\cos( \alpha )  =  \frac{1}{2}

Now use the half angle identiy

\sin( \frac{ \alpha }{2} )  =  \sqrt{ \frac{1 -  \cos( \alpha ) }{2} }

=  \frac{ \sqrt{1 -  \frac{1}{2} } }{ \sqrt{2} }

=  \frac{ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ \sqrt{2} }

=  \frac{ \sqrt{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ \sqrt{2} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{ \sqrt{2} }  =  \frac{ \sqrt{1} }{ \sqrt{4} }  =  \frac{1}{2}

So the answer for our example is 1/2

A cone has a radius of 3 and a height given by the expression 2a. Which expression represents the volume of the cone?
DiKsa [7]
V=(1/3)hπr^2 where h=height and r=radius
given
radius=3
height=2a

r=3
h=2a

v=(1/3)hπr^2
v=(1/3)(2a)π(3)^2
v=(1/3)2aπ9
v=6aπ


so the expression would be some variaant of v=6aπ
