Answer

### C. $1+2sin\Theta cos\Theta$

Explain

## Step 1: Expand the Expression<br />### Expand $(sin\Theta +cos\Theta )^{2}$ using the formula $(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$. This gives us $sin^2\Theta + 2sin\Theta cos\Theta + cos^2\Theta$.<br /><br />## Step 2: Apply the Pythagorean Identity<br />### Recall the Pythagorean identity: $sin^2\Theta + cos^2\Theta = 1$. Substitute this into the expanded expression from Step 1. This simplifies the expression to $1 + 2sin\Theta cos\Theta$.
