finding sin( arctan(2) )

find sin(arctan(2) )
let A = arctan(2) ------------------(1)
tanA = 2 = 2 / 1
use these on a triangle with side opposite to A as 2, adjacent to A as 1
use pythagoras theorem to get the hypotenuse sqrt(5)

so sin A = 2 / sqrt(5)

using equation(1)
sin ( arctan(2) ) = 2 / sqrt(5) = [ 2*sqrt(5) ] / 5
