How to calculate the expression sin105*cos45-sin45*cos105?

To evaluate the given expression, we'll use the
identity:


sin(x-y)=sin x*cos y - sin y*cos
y


Let x = 105 and y = 45


We'll
re-write the given difference:


sin 105*cos 45 - sin 45*cos
105 = sin (105 - 45)


sin 105*cos 45 - sin 45*cos 105 = sin
60


But sin 60 = (sqrt
3)/2


Therefore, the value of the given
expression is sin 105*cos 45 - sin 45*cos 105 = (sqrt
3)/2.
