Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Double Angle Formula for Sine
The double angle formula for sine states that sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α). This formula allows us to express the sine of double an angle in terms of the sine and cosine of the original angle, which is essential for solving problems involving angles that are multiples of a given angle.

Understanding Sine Values
The sine function relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. Knowing the value of sin(α) is crucial for finding sin(2α), as it directly influences the calculation of both sin(α) and cos(α) in the double angle formula.

Range of Angles
The specified ranges for α and β indicate the quadrants in which these angles lie, affecting the signs of their sine and cosine values. For example, if 0 < α < π/2, both sin(α) and cos(α) are positive, which is important for accurately calculating sin(2α) using the double angle formula.
