Show that sin 100° – sin 10° is positive.

Show that sin 100° − sin 10° is Positive Show that sin 100° − sin 10° is Positive Question: Show that \[ \sin100^\circ-\sin10^\circ \] is positive. Solution We use the identity: \[ \sin C-\sin D = 2\cos\left(\frac{C+D}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{C-D}{2}\right) \] Taking \[ C=100^\circ, \qquad D=10^\circ \] Then, \[ \sin100^\circ-\sin10^\circ = 2\cos\left(\frac{100^\circ+10^\circ}{2}\right) \sin\left(\frac{100^\circ-10^\circ}{2}\right) \] \[ = 2\cos55^\circ\sin45^\circ
