SinA CosA is a formula in trigonometry that is used to solve various math problems. We use the sin2A formula to derive the formula for sinA cosA. It is equal to half of sin2A. We can express the sinA cosA in terms of tangent function as well. We have sin2A = 2 sinA cosA. So,
sin2A = 2 sinA cosA
⇒ sinA cosA = sin2A / 2
Hence, the sinA cosA is equal to half of sin2A.
As discussed above, the formula for sinA cosA is given by,
sinA cosA = sin2A / 2
We can write this formula in terms of tangent function as,
sinA cosA = tanA / (1 + tan2A)
We can use this sinA cosA formula to solve various trigonometry problems.
Now that we know the formula of sinA cosA in terms of sine function, we will use the formula of sin2A in terms of tan to derive the sinA cosA formula in terms of the tangent function. We know that sin2A = 2tanA / (1 + tan2A). So, we have
sinA cosA = sin2A / 2
= [2tanA / (1 + tan2A)] / 2
= tanA / (1 + tan2A)
Hence, the formula for sinA cosA in terms of tan is given by, sinA cosA = tanA / (1 + tan2A).
We have understood the formula for sinA cosA, in this section we will solve a few examples using the formula to understand its application.
Example 1: Evaluate the value of sin30° cos30° using sinA cosA formula.
Solution: The formula for sinA cosA is given by, sinA cosA = sin2A / 2.
If A = 30°, then 2A = 60°. We know sin 60° = √3/2 using the trigonometry table. So, we have
sin30° cos30° = sin60° / 2
= (√3/2) / 2
= √3 / 4
Answer: sin30° cos30° = √3/4
Example 2: Find the value of sinA cosA if sin2A = 2/3
Solution: Using the sinA cosA formula, we have
sinA cosA = sin2A / 2
= (2/3) / 2
= 2/6
= 1/3
Answer: The value of sinA cosA if sin2A = 2/3 is equal to 1/3.
