In a right triangle $A B C$, right-angled at $B$. if $\tan A =1,$ then verify that $2 \sin A \cos A=1$
In $\triangle ABC , \tan A =\frac{ BC }{ AB }=1$ (see $Fig.$)
i.e. $BC = AB$
Let $AB = BC =k,$ where $k$ is a positive number.
Now,$AC=\sqrt{ AB ^{2}+ BC ^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{(k)^{2}+(k)^{2}}=k \sqrt{2}$
Therfore, $\sin A=\frac{ BC }{ AC }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \quad$ and $\cos A =\frac{ AB }{ AC }=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
So, $\quad 2 \sin A \cos A =2\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=1,$ which is the required value.
