We know that sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB. We can use this formula for A = 60Β° and B = 45Β° as follows:

sin(60Β° + 45Β°) = sin60Β°cos45Β° + cos60Β°sin45Β°

Simplifying using known values:

sin(105°) = (√3/2)(√2/2) + (1/2)(√2/2)

sin(105°) = (√6 + √2)/4

Therefore, the answer is D, √6 + √2.

To find the value of sin 105°, we can use the formula sin(𝐴 + 𝐡) = sin 𝐴 cos𝐡 + cos 𝐴 sin𝐡.

Let's express 105Β° as a sum of two angles: 105Β° = 60Β° + 45Β°.

Using the formula, we have:
sin(105Β°) = sin(60Β° + 45Β°)
= sin(60Β°)cos(45Β°) + cos(60Β°)sin(45Β°)

Now, we know that sin 60° = √3/2, cos 60° = 1/2, sin 45° = √2/2, and cos 45° = √2/2.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
sin(105°) = (√3/2)(√2/2) + (1/2)(√2/2)
= (√3√2)/4 + √2/4
= (√6 + √2)/4
= (√6 + √2)/2√2

To rationalize the denominator, we multiply the numerator and denominator by √2:
= [(√6 + √2)/2√2] * (√2/√2)
= (√12 + 2)/4√2
= (√12 + 2)/4√2 * (√2/√2)
= (√24 + 4√2)/8
= (√24 + 4√2)/8

We notice that √24 = √(4 * 6) = 2√6.

Therefore, we have:
sin(105°) = (2√6 + 4√2)/8
= √6/4 + √2/2
= √6/4 + (2/2)√2
= √6/4 + √2/1
= (√6 + 4√2)/4
= (1/4)(√6 + 4√2)

Comparing this result with the given options, we find that the answer is:
A. √42 (√3 + 1)
