The expression for the angle 2v differs from 2 by as much as v differs from 0. This means that 2v makes the same angle with the positive y-axis as v makes with the positive x-axis.

Angle v Angle π/2 - v

Therefore, the angle 2v has a y-coordinate which is equal to the x-coordinate for the angle v, i.e.

sin2v=cosv 

and from exercise c, we know that cosv=1a2 ,

sin2v=1a2.
