Explanation

We are required to determine the double angle for sin 120°.

We know that the double angle identity states thus:

So. we have:


\begin{gathered} \sin2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta \\ \sin120\degree=\sin2(60\degree)=2\sin60\degree\cos60\degree \\ \Rightarrow2((√(3))/(2))((1)/(2))=(√(3))/(2) \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


(√(3))/(2)

The second option is correct.
