Sin 60 Identity
1. The problem is to find the value of $\frac{1}{60^\circ}$ and verify the given trigonometric identity $\sin 60^\circ = 2 \sin 30^\circ \cos 30^\circ$.
2. First, find the exact values of $\sin 30^\circ$ and $\cos 30^\circ$:
- $\sin 30^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$
- $\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
3. Substitute these values into the expression $2 \sin 30^\circ \cos 30^\circ$:
$$2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
4. Note that $\sin 60^\circ$ is known to be $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, so the identity holds.
5. Now, to find $\frac{1}{60^\circ}$, assuming the question asks for the reciprocal of $60^\circ$ in degrees:
$$\frac{1}{60^\circ} = \frac{1}{60}$$
This is simply a numeric value, approximately $0.0167$ per degree.
6. If the question involves $\sin 60^\circ$, the value is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$.
Final answers:
- $\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
- $2 \sin 30^\circ \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ (identity confirmed)
- $\frac{1}{60^\circ} = \frac{1}{60} \approx 0.0167$ per degree
