Question

Without using trigonometric tables, find the value of the expression:

`{(sin^2 22^circ + sin^2 68^circ)/(cos^2 22^circ + cos^2 68^circ) + sin^2 63^circ + cos 63^circ sin 27^circ}`

Solution

Given: `{(sin^2 22^circ + sin^2 68^circ)/(cos^2 22^circ + cos^2 68^circ) + sin^2 63^circ + cos 63^circ sin 27^circ}`

Step-wise calculation:

1. Note sin2 68° = sin2(90° – 22°) = cos2 22°. 

Hence (sin2 22° + sin2 68°) = sin2 22° + cos2 22° = 1.

2. Also cos2 68° = cos2(90° – 22°) = sin2 22°.

So (cos2 22° + cos2 68°) = cos2 22° + sin2 22° = 1.

3. Therefore the fraction = `1/1` = 1.

4. For the remaining terms,

sin 27° = sin(90° – 63°) = cos 63°

So cos 63° · sin 27° = cos2 63°. 

Thus sin2 63° + cos 63° · sin 27°

= sin2 63° + cos^2 63°

= 1

⇒ 1 + 1 = 2.
