Trigonometric equation question

I can't remember how to do these.

I need to do question 9D. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying for ages but I'm just not sure what to do.

sinθ=sin(θ2+θ2)sin \theta=sin(\frac{\theta}{2}+ \frac{\theta}{2})

What do I do now?

Sin^2(x/2)=4sin(x/2)cos(x/2)

Can you simplify that at all? Make sure you don't lose a solution though.

Do you know the double angle formula?
