Answer

$$-\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$$

Work Step by Step

Finding the exact value using the Laws of Trigonometry, we obtain: $$\left(-2\sin \left(\frac{165^{\circ \:}+75^{\circ \:}}{2}\right)\sin \left(\frac{165^{\circ \:}-75^{\circ \:}}{2}\right)\right) \\ -2\cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \\ -\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$$
