$sin(pi/4)xxsin(pi/6)=0.35355$

$sin(pi/4)xxsin(pi/6)$

= $1/sqrt2xx1/2=1/(2sqrt2)=1/4xxsqrt2=1.4142/4=0.35355$

Alternatively, $sin(pi/4)xxsin(pi/6)$

= $1/2{cos(pi/4-pi/6)-cos(pi/4+pi/6)$

= $1/2{cos((3pi-2pi)/12)-cos((3pi+2pi)/12)}$

= $1/2{cos(pi/12)-cos((5pi)/12)}$

= $1/2{0.9659-0.2588}=1/2xx0.7071=0.35355$
