Solution

\[LHS = \sin^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{5\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{7\pi}{8}\]

\[ = \sin^2 \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{3\pi}{8} \right) + \sin^2 \left( \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{8} \right) + \sin^2 \frac{5\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{7\pi}{8}\]

\[ = \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \left( \pi - \frac{3\pi}{8} \right) + \sin^2 \left( \pi - \frac{\pi}{8} \right)\]

\[= \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8}\]

\[ = \left( \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{\pi}{8} \right) + \left( \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^2 \frac{3\pi}{8} \right)\]

\[ = 1 + 1 = 2 = RHS\]

\[\text{ Hence proved }  .\]
