Recognize Identity: Recognize that the expression sin(15+15) can be rewritten using the angle sum identity for sine. The angle sum identity for sine is sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B)+cos(A)sin(B). Here, A and B are both 15 degrees, so we can apply the identity.
Apply Identity: Apply the angle sum identity for sine to the expression sin(15+15).sin(15+15)=sin(15)cos(15)+cos(15)sin(15)
Calculate Values: Recognize that sin(15) and cos(15) need to be calculated or looked up, as they are not standard angles. However, we know that sin(30) is a standard angle and its value is 21. Since 15+15 equals 30, we can simplify the expression to sin(30).
Find Expression Value: Use the known value of sin(30) to find the value of the expression.sin(30)=21
