$\cos \frac{7 π}{8} = \cos (π - \frac{π}{8}) = - \cos \frac{π}{8}$ $\cos \frac{5 π}{8} = - \cos \frac{3 π}{8}$ $\Rightarrow (1 + \cos \frac{π}{8}) (1 - \cos \frac{π}{8}) = 1 - \cos^{2} \frac{π}{8} = \sin^{2} (\frac{π}{8})$ $\Rightarrow (1 + \cos \frac{3 π}{8}) (1 - \cos \frac{3 π}{8}) = 1 - \cos^{2} (\frac{3 π}{8}) = \sin^{2} (\frac{3 π}{8})$ $∴ {[\sin \frac{3 π}{8} . \sin \frac{π}{8}]}^{2} =$ $\frac{1}{4} {[\cos \frac{4 π}{8} - \cos \frac{π}{4}]}^{2} = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$
