Q. What is the value of sin(π4)? \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) ? \newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 12 \frac{1}{2} \newline(B) 22 \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \newline(C) 32 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \newline(D) 4545
  1. Find sine value at π4\frac{\pi}{4} radians: We need to find the value of the sine function at an angle of π4\frac{\pi}{4} radians.\newlineThe sine of π4\frac{\pi}{4} is a well-known trigonometric value.\newlineWe can recall the value from the unit circle or from trigonometric identities.
  2. Using the unit circle: The unit circle shows that at an angle of π4\frac{\pi}{4} radians, both the xx-coordinate and the yy-coordinate have the same value because π4\frac{\pi}{4} radians corresponds to a 4545-degree angle where the triangle is isosceles.\newlineThe sine function gives the yy-coordinate of the unit circle at that angle.
  3. Using the Pythagorean theorem: Since the triangle is isosceles and the hypotenuse is 11 (because it's a unit circle), the legs of the triangle are equal in length.\newlineUsing the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the legs: x2+x2=12x^2 + x^2 = 1^2, which simplifies to 2x2=12x^2 = 1.
  4. Solving for x: Solving for x, we get x2=12x^2 = \frac{1}{2}, which means x=12x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}.\newlineThis simplifies to x=22x = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} because 1=1\sqrt{1} = 1 and 2\sqrt{2} remains under the radical.
  5. Final result: Therefore, the value of sin(π4)\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) is the same as the length of the leg of the triangle, which is 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.\newlineThis matches one of the given choices.
