Answer

sin2 x + sin2 30° = 1

sin 2x+(12)2=1sin 2x+(14)=1sin 2x=1(14)sin 2x=4414sin 2x=414sin 2x=34sin x=34sin x=32sin x=sin 60°⇒ \text{sin }^2 x + \Big(\dfrac{1}{2}\Big)^2 = 1\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin }^2 x + \Big(\dfrac{1}{4}\Big) = 1\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin }^2 x = 1 - \Big(\dfrac{1}{4}\Big)\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin }^2 x = \dfrac{4}{4} - \dfrac{1}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin }^2 x = \dfrac{4 - 1}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin }^2 x = \dfrac{3}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin } x = \sqrt\dfrac{3}{4}\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin } x = \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\[1em] ⇒ \text{sin } x = \text{sin } 60°\\[1em]

So, x = 60°

Hence, x = 60°.
