You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Find the exact value of the following expression. Do not
use a calculator.
sin105cos15
----------------------
105 = 60+45
15 = 60-45
-----------------
Your Problem becomes
sin(60+45)*cos(60-45)
= (sin60cos45-sin45cos60)(cos60cos45-sin50sin45)
-----------
Now put in the values and do the arithmetic.
