What is the value of 5sin²60° + 7sin²45°+ 8cos²45°?

$$\eqalign{ & 5{\sin ^2}{60^ \circ } + 7{\sin ^2}{45^ \circ } + 8{\cos ^2}{45^ \circ } \cr & = 5{\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}} \right)^2} + 7{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^2} + 8{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)^2} \cr & = \frac{{15}}{4} + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{8}{2} \cr & = \frac{{15 + 14 + 16}}{4} \cr & = \frac{{45}}{4} \cr} $$
