Answer: sin = ±
Step-by-step explanation:
We very well know that,
cos2A=1−2sin²A
⟹ sinA = ±
As required, set A = & cos a=
,thus we get
sin =±
∴ sin =±
= ±
since ,360° < <450°
,180° < <225°
Now, we are to select the value with the correct sign. It's is obvious from the above constraints that the angle a/2 lies in the III-quadrant where 'sine' has negative value, thus the required value is negative.
hope it helped!
