![**Problem 4:** Suppose that \( \cos(A) = m \), and \( A \) is in quadrant I. Then determine \( \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \) in terms of \( m \).
\[ \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]
---
**Explanation**
This problem is asking to find the sine of half an angle, \( \sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \), given that the cosine of the angle \( A \) is \( m \), and \( A \) is in the first quadrant.
To solve this, we may use the half-angle identity for sine:
\[
\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 - \cos(A)}{2}}
\]
Given \( \cos(A) = m \), substitute \( m \) for \( \cos(A) \):
\[
\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\frac{1 - m}{2}}
