  1. Use the formula for \(\sin ( \theta + \phi )\), with \(\theta = 45 ^ { \circ }\) and \(\phi = 60 ^ { \circ }\), to show that \(\sin 105 ^ { \circ } = \frac { \sqrt { 3 } + 1 } { 2 \sqrt { 2 } }\).
  2. In triangle ABC , angle \(\mathrm { BAC } = 45 ^ { \circ }\), angle \(\mathrm { ACB } = 30 ^ { \circ }\) and \(\mathrm { AB } = 1\) unit (see Fig. 3). Fig. 3 Using the sine rule, together with the result in part (i), show that \(\mathrm { AC } = \frac { \sqrt { 3 } + 1 } { \sqrt { 2 } }\).
