Model Answer

$\sin 30° \cdot \tan 45° = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1 = \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{\sqrt{1}}{2}$

So, $k = \mathbf{1}$. Option D

Explanation

Use standard values: sin 30° = 1/2 and tan 45° = 1. Their product is 1/2. Matching with √k/2 gives √k = 1, so k = 1. Examiners expect you to recall Table 8.1 values directly and substitute — no working beyond two steps is needed for 1 mark.
