Use sin(θ)=cos(90θ). Answer: 2

Explanation:

Evaluate (sin39cos51)2+(cos51sin39)2

Here, it is important to note that sin(θ)=cos(90θ) and cos(θ)=sin(90θ)

Therefore, by substitution:

(sin39cos51)2+(cos51sin39)2

=(cos(9039)cos51)2+(cos51cos(9039))2

=(cos51cos51)2+(cos51cos51)2

=12+12

=2

Therefore, our answer is 2.
