sin(alpha/2)=? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given sin(alpha)=8/9 and alpha is in quadrant I, find the exact value of
sin(alpha/2) = sqrt[(1-cos(a))/2].
-----
If sin(a) = 8/9, cos(a) = sqrt[81-64]/9 = sqrt(17)/9
----
Ans: sin(a/2) = sqrt[1-[sqrt(17)/9]/2]
