Q1(i):
Evaluate the following : (i) $\sin 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \sin 30^\circ \cos 60^\circ$

Solution :

Given: The trigonometric expression $\sin 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \sin 30^\circ \cos 60^\circ$.

To find: The numerical value of the given expression.

Visual Representation:

A B C 60° 30° 90°

Step 1: Identify the values of the trigonometric ratios.

Based on the standard trigonometric table for specific angles, we have the following values:

  • $\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • $\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
  • $\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$
  • $\cos 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Substitute the values into the expression.

The given expression is $\sin 60^\circ \cos 30^\circ + \sin 30^\circ \cos 60^\circ$.

Substituting the values identified in Step 1:

$= \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)$

Step 3: Perform the multiplication.

Multiply the fractions [Using the rule $\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}$]:

$= \left( \frac{\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3}}{2 \times 2} \right) + \left( \frac{1 \times 1}{2 \times 2} \right)$

$= \left( \frac{3}{4} \right) + \left( \frac{1}{4} \right)$

Step 4: Perform the addition.

Since the denominators are the same, add the numerators [Using the rule $\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a+b}{c}$]:

$= \frac{3 + 1}{4}$

$= \frac{4}{4}$

$= 1$
