use sin^2 x + cos^2 x = 1 then another trig formula

If you expand the brackets you get:

cos2(22.5)+2sin(22.5)cos(22.5)+sin2(22.5) cos^{2}(22.5) + 2sin(22.5)cos(22.5) + sin^{2}(22.5)

You should know two identities that let you solve this rather easily.

I used the half angle formula for sin squared and cos squared, but im not too sure to do with 2sin(22.5)cos(22.5) ?

Remember sin2A = 2sinAcosA?

ahh yes of course!
Thanks
