Help super urgent maths

Helppp…
Why is the maximum occurring when it’s equal to pi over 2??
Isn’t it when the
Sin(angle) is one like in the first part he multiplied 25 by one to get the max value IMG_2740.jpegIMG_2741.jpeg

so its asking what the angle is when the maximum is occuring.

sinx = 1 when it is pi/2

just read of the graph

Maximum of Rsin(θα)R \sin(\theta - \alpha) occurs when sin(θα)=1\sin(\theta - \alpha)=1.

Which means θα=π/2\theta - \alpha = \pi/2 which means θ=π/2+α\theta = \pi/2 + \alpha.

Wry side observation: I see you've moved up to "super urgent".
