Use the compound angle formulas and appropriate angles to find the exact value of each
of the following:
D. d tan (pi/12)

thank you

Alright, what have you done? In particular what are the "compound angle formulas" and what is "d"?

Hints:

1.$$\sin \frac{\pi}{6} = 2\sin \frac{\pi}{12} \cos \frac{\pi}{12}$$

2.$$\tan \frac{\pi}{12}=\frac{\sin\frac{\pi}{12}}{\cos\frac{\pi}{12}}$$
