Work Step by Step

For $\frac{\pi}{6} \leq x \leq \frac{\pi}{3}$, the sine function is bounded between: $$\frac{1}{2}\leq \sin(x) \leq \frac{\sqrt 3 }{2}$$ so using the property: $m(b-a)\leq \int_a^b f(x)dx\leq M(b-a)$ if $m\leq f(x)\leq M$ for $x\in [a,b]$ we have: $\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\leq \displaystyle\int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\sin(x) dx \leq \frac{\sqrt 3 }{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$ $$\frac{\pi}{12}\leq \int_{\frac{\pi}{6}}^{\frac{\pi}{3}}\sin(x) dx\leq \frac{\sqrt 3 \pi }{12}$$
