Question
Show that: $\sin50^\circ\cos85^\circ=\frac{1-\sqrt2\sin35^\circ}{2\sqrt2}$

Answer

$\sin50^\circ\cos85^\circ=\frac{1-\sqrt2\sin35^\circ}{2\sqrt2}$ $\text{LHS}=\sin50^\circ\cos85^\circ=\frac{2\sin50^\circ\cos85^\circ}{2}$ $\because\ 2\sin\text{A}\cos\text{B}=\sin(\text{A+B})+\sin(\text{A}-\text{B})$ $\Rightarrow\ \frac{2\sin50^\circ\cos85^\circ}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[\sin(50^\circ+85^\circ)+\sin(50^\circ-85^\circ)]$ $=\ \frac{1}{2}[\sin135^\circ+\sin(-35^\circ)]$ $=\ \frac{1}{2}[\sin(90^\circ+45^\circ)-\sin35^\circ]$$[\because\ \sin(-\theta)=-\sin\theta]$ $=\ \frac{1}{2}[\cos45^\circ-\sin35^\circ]$$[\because\ \sin(90^\circ+\theta)=\cos\theta]$ Now, $\cos45^\circ=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}$ $=\ \frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-\sin35^\circ\Big]$ $=\ \frac{1-\sqrt2\sin35^\circ}{2\sqrt2}=\text{RHS}$
