s in ( α + β ) = s in α cos β + cos α s in β s in 2 2 o cos 1 8 o + cos 2 2 o s in 1 8 o = s in ( 2 2 o + 1 8 o ) = s in 4 0 o ≈ 0.6428
find the exact value using trigonometric identities 0.6427876 ;
The expression sin ( 2 2 ∘ ) cos ( 1 8 ∘ ) + cos ( 2 2 ∘ ) sin ( 1 8 ∘ ) is equivalent to sin ( 4 0 ∘ ) using the sine addition formula. By substituting the angle values, we applied the sine addition identity. Therefore, the final result is sin ( 4 0 ∘ ) .
