Answer:


(1+√(3))/(2√(2))

Explanation:

We have to find the exact value of
sin((7 \pi)/(12) ) using the addition or subtraction rules.

This can be done as follows:


sin((7 \pi)/(12)) = sin((3\pi + 4\pi)/(12))

Using the formula sin(A+B)=sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B), the expression can be simplified to:


sin((3\pi + 4\pi)/(12))\\\\ =sin((3 \pi)/(12) )cos((4 \pi)/(12) ) + cos((3 \pi)/(12) )sin((4 \pi)/(12) )\\\\ =sin((\pi)/(4) )cos((\pi)/(3) ) + cos((\pi)/(4) )sin((\pi)/(3))\\\\ = (1)/(√(2)) * (1)/(2) + (1)/(√(2)) * (√(3))/(2)\\\\= (1)/(2√(2))+(√(3))/(2√(2)) \\\\ = (1+√(3))/(2√(2))
