Use a half-angle formula to find the exact value of sin ((3pi)/8)
\n" ); document.write( "Identity:sin(s/2)=±√[(1-cos s)/2]
\n" ); document.write( "sin(3π/8)=sin[(3π/4)/2]=√[1-cos(3π/4)/2]=√[1-(-√2/2)/2]=√[(1+√2/2)/2]
\n" ); document.write( "sin(3π/8)=√[(1+√2/2)/2]
\n" ); document.write( "check with calculator:
\n" ); document.write( "sin(3π/8)≈.9238..
\n" ); document.write( "√[(1+√2/2)/2]≈.9238..
\n" ); document.write( "
