Using the half angle of sine to evaluate an angle

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the sine of 3π/8, which is not on the unit circle. Initially, the sum and difference formulas are considered, but the half-angle formula is introduced as a more efficient method. The tutorial demonstrates how to apply the half-angle formula, simplify the expression, and arrive at the final result. Key concepts include understanding the unit circle, using trigonometric identities, and applying algebraic simplification techniques.
