Question : What is the value of $5\sin^260^{\circ}+7\sin^245^{\circ}+ 8\cos^245^{\circ}$?
Option 1: 10
Option 2: $\frac{57}{4}$
Option 3: 25
Option 4: $\frac{45}{4}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{45}{4}$
Solution : Given: The expression is $5\sin^260^{\circ}+7\sin^245^{\circ}+ 8\cos^245^{\circ}$. We know that trigonometric values of $\sin60^{\circ}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$, $\sin45^{\circ}=(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})$, and $\cos45^{\circ}=(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})$. $5\sin^260^{\circ}+7\sin^245^{\circ}+ 8\cos^245^{\circ}$ $=5\times(\frac{\sqrt3}{2})^2+7\times(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})^2+ 8\times(\frac{1}{\sqrt2})^2$ $=5\times\frac{3}{4}+7\times\frac{1}{2}+ 8\times\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{15}{4}+\frac{7}{2}+4$ $=\frac{15+14+16}{4}=\frac{45}{4}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{45}{4}$.
