Do not use a calculator in this question.
The diagram shows triangle \(ABC\), where \(AB=\sqrt2\), \(\angle A=60^\circ\), \(\angle B=75^\circ\) and \(\angle C=45^\circ\).
You may use \(\sin60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\), \(\sin45^\circ=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\), \(\cos60^\circ=\frac12\), \(\cos45^\circ=\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\), \(\tan60^\circ=\sqrt3\) and \(\tan45^\circ=1\).
(a) Given that the area of triangle \(ABC\) is \(\frac{3+\sqrt3}{4}\), show that
\(\sin75^\circ=\frac{\sqrt6+\sqrt2}{4}.\)
(b) Hence find the exact length of \(AC\).
