Best answer
Answer: \(\sin\frac{A}{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\)
\(s = \frac{a + b + c}{2} = \frac{18 + 24 + 30}{2} = 36\), so \(s - b = 12\) and \(s - c = 6\).
\(\sin\frac{A}{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(s-b)(s-c)}{bc}} = \sqrt{\frac{12 \times 6}{24 \times 30}} = \sqrt{\frac{72}{720}} = \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}\).
