Answer

a. $\sin 36^\circ$ b. $\sin 6\theta$

Work Step by Step

a. Use the formula $\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$ with $x=18^\circ$. Then $2\sin 18^\circ\cos 18^\circ=\sin(2*18^\circ)=\sin 36^\circ$. b. Use the formula $\sin 2x=2\sin x\cos x$ with $x=3\theta$. Then $2\sin 3\theta\cos 3\theta=\sin(2*3\theta)=\sin 6\theta$.
