take tanx as tan(2x/2) which is equal to 2tan(x/2)/1-{tan(x/2)tan(x/2)}.now use tan(x/2) to find sin(x/2) and cos(x/2).

write tanx=tan(x/2+x/2)
apply property of tan(A+B)=tanA+tanB/1-tanAtanB
tanx=2tanx/2/1-tan^2x/2
-4/3=2tanx/2/1-tan^x/2
solve quadrtic and u will get tan x/2=2 and tan x/2=-1/2
neglect -1/2 as
pi/2<x<pi
pi/4<x/2<pi/2
draw right angled triangle
get sinx/2=2/5
and cosx/2=1/5
rate me
