Were you supposed to simply this and get an exact answer?
sin45=1/(sqrt2)
tan75=tan(60+15) you can expand this
To get the ratios for 15 degrees you can use half angle forumulas which are included on this page

If you are really keen there is a long version here

Whenever possible answers AND questions should be checked to make sure that they pass reasonableness checks. Thank you Alan for reminding us of this.
3 different method to exand double bracket problems. I like Alan's method best but if I were teaching it in a class I would give a preamble on finding areas first and make sure the children could see the 'link'.

The fun definitely continues here.
Rosala has learned how to use memes and her squirrels are cute. I also like the fact that although you and Zegroes have had some fun you have not given yourselves points for it. I think points should mainly be kept for proper mathematics posts (answers) and just a few for the very best of the fun posts.
