a^2 - b^2 = (a+b)(a-b)....So... However you will get the answer without applying the formula...Cos45 = 1/root2 .. so.. cos^2 45 = 1/2Sin45 = 1/root2..so..sin^2 45 = 1/2 ...So....required answer is 0...Hope you have understood the answer..

Dear Student,
cos 45 = sin 45 = 1/\sqrt[]{2}
so cos^{2} 45 = sin^{2} 45 = ½
so cos^{2} 45 –  sin^{2} 45 = ½ – ½ = 0 (Ans)
If it hadn’t been 45 degrees and some other angle for which you don’t know the value of cos theta and sin theta
you can use the formula cos^{2}\Theta - sin^{2}\Theta = cos2\Theta
 
Hope it helps!
